Eddie Jones prepares to take the England job amid mixed reviews

England are set to appoint Eddie Jones as their new head coach amid a warning from Dean Ryan that the Australian is a figure who “polarises opinion” after compiling a chequered CV.

Jones has travelled to London for talks with the Rugby Football Union and with the level of compensation for his release from his Stormers contract believed to have been negotiated, the 55-year-old’s appointment is seemingly imminent.
