‘I don’t have any regrets’: Eddie Jones insists England were on right track

‘ I don’t feel like I was coaching poorly’, Jones said.

NO REGRETS: Eddie Jones.

Eddie Jones has insisted he had England “on the right track” to peak at next year’s World Cup before he was sacked after seven years in charge, revealing he has held talks with other nations about taking up his next job.

Jones reiterated his belief that he had lost the support of the Rugby Football Union before the defeat by South Africa sealed his fate and was adamant he would not have done anything differently, saying he was coaching well and that the subsequent endorsements from England players backs up that view. That defeat by the Springboks ensured England ended the year with six defeats from 12 Tests and proved the final straw for the RFU chief executive, Bill Sweeney, who, when announced Steve Borthwick as the new head coach on Monday, said the decision was based on results.
