Eddie Jones has been rebuked by the Rugby Football Union for criticising the English game’s reliance on the private school system.

England’s head coach said in a newspaper interview published over the weekend that “you are going to have to blow the whole thing up” because it produces “closeted” players who lack “resolve”.
