The England rugby team are on the hunt for a new head coach following the departure of Eddie Jones on Tuesday just nine months before the 2023 World Cup gets underway in France.
Jones had been in charge of England since 2016, winning three Six Nations titles in that time while also reaching the final of the 2019 World Cup. In those seven years, he was seen to have transformed the fortunes of an England team who had crashed out in the pool stage of the 2015 World Cup just before his arrival.
The RFU released a statement on Tuesday confirming his departure which comes after England were booed off the Twickenham pitch in their last match having lost to South Africa. Former Leicester Director of Rugby and member of the England coaching staff Richard Cockerill has been placed in charge of the team until a permanent coach is hired.
