STATEMENT: RFU release statement regarding Eddie Jones

The Rugby Football Union have released a future regarding the future of Eddie Jones following England’s disappointing Guinness Six Nations campaign.

“Eddie Jones is building a new England team and against a clear strategy we are encouraged by the solid progress the team has made during this Six Nations,” an RFU spokesperson said.

“The RFU continues to fully support Eddie, the coaching team and players and we are excited about the summer tour and the progress to rebuild a winning England team.

“Eddie and his team of coaches and players will conduct a full review as is normal after each tournament,

“The RFU advisory panel – which consists of board and executive members, former players and coaches, along with Eddie – will also undertake a debrief to discuss the strong positive steps forward during this campaign and the areas we need to address.

“The advisory group has been in place since 2019 and it meets regularly both during and after each tournament to evaluate clear targets and progression.”
