Eddie Jones claimed he was abused by a fan at half-time of Japan’s 59-14 defeat by England at Allianz Stadium before laughing off allegations made by Danny Care over his management style.

Jones’ first appearance at Twickenham against the side he coached from 2015 to 2022 ended in a nine-try rout and the Australian’s afternoon was soured further by a verbal altercation with a supporter.
