LIST: 5 players who were unfairly exiled by Eddie Jones

Whether it’s cases of indiscipline or arguments with team-mates, there are plenty of reasons behind players being exiled from the first team.

Here, RUCK looks at 5 players who have been somewhat unfairly exiled by the Aussie

Former England start Kyran Bracken was the first person to reveal why the Quins playmaker was mysteriously frozen out of Jones plans in 2018 despite being a regular up until that point.

"He (Care) made the mistake of speaking his mind to Eddie Jones and questioning how he wanted him to play when he was playing with an England ‘B’ team against Japan in the autumn of 2018," said Bracken.

"Eddie’s response to that was ‘that’s not the attitude I want’ and he binned him from his plans."

This story was later backed up by England and Harlequins teammate Mike Brown.

Brown wrote in his column: 'I'd had one of my best seasons for Quins (2018/19) with really good attacking stats (2019), but Eddie had pigeon-holed me as a defensive full-back. At the end of this meeting, he asked if I had anything I wanted to say.

"I challenged his comments that I was just a defensive full-back, saying I thought I had been adding value to the attack, with examples and stats from my season, before saying I would take away all of his points and that I would do everything I could to get into the World Cup squad.

"He did not like that I had contested what he said and went mad. He shouted: 'Well you lost the f****** ball in contact on Saturday, didn't you? That's f****** not good enough. You're not f****** doing everything you can.'"

Ultimately, Brown wouldn't be picked for the Rugby World Cup with Jones saying that his clash with teammate Ben Te'o had nothing to do with his omission. He's not been picked since.

The 26-year-old continues to be excluded from Jones’ Six Nations Squad, a decision that left many pundits and supporters scratching their heads in recent weeks.

Simmonds, speaking to the Rugby Journal, has revealed the reason why he continues to be left out by the Aussie.

“He (Eddie) said, at the moment I don’t fit into his squad and how he sees me, and how I play for Exeter, doesn’t fit into his team.

“And, that is quite tough to take, but at least we get to play for Exeter Chiefs.”

Jones wrote in his autobiography that the Sarries legend ‘could not match the pace and snarl of his long-term rival Mike Brown.’ 

However, according to Brown's column for the Mail Online, Goode clashed with Jones over this opinion in a heated discussion which led to him being frozen out of the squad after 2016.

The fullback then never won a recall despite being awarded the 2019 European Player of the Year award.

Jones had an unsavoury exchange with the winger prior to his sudden exit from Harlequins.

Yarde, 28, last played for England in Argentina in 2017, and has remained exiled despite stellar Premiership form.

His head coach, Alex Sanderson, said “Marland is playing the rugby of his life at the moment and I would like think the powers to be, if they are watching the games, will see that as well.

"The injury was a big turning point and he has changed a lot of his approach to life with a lot of charity work with us and is a great example to young players who could and would have gone down some of the paths he had gone down that led to him not having potentially the best reputation during the first part of his career."
