Sir Clive Woodward tears into England rugby bosses for not 'standing up' to Eddie Jones

Sir Clive Woodward has ripped into England 's rugby union bosses for not 'standing up' to head coach Eddie Jones. Jones has proven to be a controversial figure in recent times, often finding his name in headlines and is set to leave the England setup following the end of 2023.

The future surrounding the Australian is often a dominant topic when it comes to discussions surrounding the England team. Jones' latest link has been to take over the United States on an eight-year contract when his tenure comes to an end.

Legendary coach Woodward however has revealed he is 'bored' by the circus surrounding Jones and his ventures after England, and believes the Rugby Football Union needs to do more, accusing CEO Bill Sweeney and Director of Performance Conor O'Shea of being 'out of their depth'.
