England head coach Eddie Jones is under serious pressure once again after his side suffered a shock 30-29 defeat against Argentina at Twickenham.

Following on from a poor Six Nations campaign, fans stormed onto social media with the Aussie the main target of their fury.

"And people still think Eddie Jones is the right man for England," wrote one disgruntled fan.

A second wrote: "Eddie Jones is not fit for purpose. GET HIM OUT NOW,"

"The more time Eddie Jones has with the players, the worse they seem to get," commented a third.

A fourth added: "Your monthly reminder that Eddie Jones as England rugby boss is having you all on. Stop apologising for him, know when enough is enough,"

"It seems to me that Eddie Jones doesn’t have the players on his side. Because if we ever played like how he talks we’re going to play we’d be undefeated," commented another.

#1. Steve Borthwick 3/1

Having taken charge of the Tigers in 2020, Borthwick has overseen a huge turnaround at the club, transforming them from Premierships strugglers to pace-setters at the top of the table.

As such, his is a name very much linked to the England post.

The Leicester job is the first head coaching gig in his career, however, so the 42-year-old would be thrown in very green.
