England forward Maro Itoje has compared the end of Eddie Jones' England reign to the demise of the previous two Prime Ministers.
After a wretched autumn campaign that yielded mediocre defeats at home to both Argentina and South Africa, Jones was sacked in December just nine months out from the 2023 Rugby World Cup. He was duly replaced by Leicester's Steve Borthwick, who will begin his reign at home to Scotland in the Six Nations next Saturday.
Not that Jones, 62, waited long before hitting the headlines again. In a sensational development this month, he was reappointed as head coach of his native Australia. Like with England, he has previously led The Wallabies to a World Cup final defeat.
