Eddie Jones

Eddie Jones has been sacked as England head coach just nine months out from the 2023 Rugby World Cup.

The former England head coach produced a unique sound bite and came close to overstepping the mark on multiple occasions.

Eddie Jones has been sacked as England head coach after seven years in charge, just 10 months out from the 2023 Rugby World Cup.

Eddie O'Sullivan believes England's players will have a massive say on whether or not Eddie Jones keeps his job as head coach.

Richard Cockerill will take charge while the RFU finds a successor for Jones, with Steve Borthwick the touted candidate.

He has provided the panel with astute insight and meaningful lessons that will support the team performance going forward." I am grateful to Eddie for all he has done for England across many areas of the game and the professional way in which he has approached reviewing the performance of the team. That was England’s first slam since 2003, and started a successful period with Jones leading his team to 22 victories across his first 23 Tests.

In the meantime Richard Cockerill will take over 'the day-to-day running' of the team, although given how there are no matches until the Six Nations kicks off ...

“I am pleased with much that we have achieved as an England team and I look forward to watching the team’s performance in the future,” said Jones. The decision for Jones to leave was taken by the RFU board earlier today. “He has the highest win ratio of any previous England head coach and has helped develop the leadership skills of many players and coaches.

The results meant England suffered their worst year since 2008, having also finished third in the Six Nations after defeats to Scotland, Ireland and France.

Jones himself added: “I am pleased with much that we have achieved as an England team and I look forward to watching the team’s performance in the future. “He has the highest win ratio of any previous England head coach and has helped develop the leadership skills of many players and coaches.

[@EnglandRugby]men's head coach – Jones was also the first coach to guide England to a 100% Test record in a calendar year since Geoff Cooke in 1992 (6/6), winning all 13 Tests during his first year in charge in 2016. England suffered their first defeat at the hands of Argentina since 2009 and their first home loss to Los Pumas in 16 years. He has provided the panel with astute insight and meaningful lessons that will support the team performance going forward.” He was also the first England coach to complete a perfect year since Geoff Cooke in 1992, winning all 13 of his Tests in 2016. “I am grateful to Eddie for all he has done for England across many areas of the game and the professional way in which he has approached reviewing the performance of the team.

Jones' reign began with fireworks as he masterminded England's first Grand Slam since 2023 and first Six Nations title for five years using the same players who ...

Jones reacted by axing some of his old guard, yet within the year most of them were back. From the start they looked incapable of putting a dent in an inspired Springboks team. As part of a record-equalling 17-Test run, Australia were crushed 3-0 on a tour that saw Jones at his combative best.

I would say to him: 'Forget the next World Cup, if you lose your next game against Scotland in the Six Nations you're out of your job.' In their most recent outing, England lost 27-13 to the reigning world champions South Africa at home, who were missing some of their best players. Jones came under strong criticism from Woodward, who last week claimed he should lose the job if England are defeated by Scotland in their next game. Jones was determined to stay in charge and lead England into the 2023 World Cup in France, but his fate has now been sealed. Under Jones' tutelage, England reached the 2019 World Cup final and won three Six Nations titles, including a Grand Slam in 2016. Despite recent tribulations, the Australian boasts a 73% winning record in charge of England, superior to any previous Red Rose head coach including Sir Clive Woodward, who guided the side to World Cup glory against Jones' Australia side in 2003.

Woodward, who led England to World Cup glory in 2003, and Jones were rival coaches when his team beat Australia to lift the trophy 19 years ago.

It’s the one competition that he has got consistently right time and time again. “He plans & plans & plans years in advance for this competition (World Cup). He is a shadow of the Jones I competed with, and whose first years with England were so successful and rightfully applauded.
