Eddie Jones has been sacked as England coach after seven years in charge of the Red Rose after a dismal run of results. The RFU review panel met on Monday afternoon and decided to relieve Jones of his duties, with Leicester's Steve Borthwick set to take the reins.
Jones was determined to stay in charge and lead England into the 2023 World Cup in France, but his fate has now been sealed. RFU Chief executive Bill Sweeney made a recommendation to the RFU board on Tuesday, when the decision was finalised.
Richard Cockerill will take interim charge of the day-to-day running of the team, the RFU confirmed in a statement.
