Felix Jones wasn’t quite sure what would come next. It was just after one o’clock in the early hours of Sunday morning, and the former Ireland international was concluding his final duties as an assistant coach of South Africa, his stint with the Springboks at an end after the securing of a second successive Rugby World Cup.
Pressed on his plans after a night of celebration, Jones thought for a moment. “To be honest, I’m not 100 per cent sure,” the former full-back eventually replied. “I’ll have to ask the team manager. I think there is a little bit of time off now and hopefully I get to go back to South Africa, experience the country again and enjoy a few days there.”
