‘He is the right man, they should support him’
England finished fifth in the Six Nations
Eddie Jones believes the Rugby Football Union should not replace Steve Borthwick as England head coach before the World Cup in Australia next year. England went into the Six Nations on a run of 11 wins and extended that to 12 in the opening game against Wales.
They then lost four matches – the first time England had been beaten in four games in a Six Nations campaign – including a first defeat by Italy in any competition, to finish fifth in the table.
Jones took charge as England head coach after their first-round exit on home soil at the 2015 World Cup and he was sacked at the end of 2022. For successive championships England won two of five games and a 27-13 defeat by South Africa proved to be the Australian’s last match in charge.
