Read our privacy policy Eddie Jones will learn if he is to continue as England head coach next week with the Rugby Football Union’s review into a dismal autumn set to conclude on Tuesday. Jones is fighting for his future after presiding over England’s worst year since 2008, consisting of six defeats, a draw and five wins and ending with Saturday’s chastening loss to South Africa. Jones’ case to continue in a post he has held since the end of 2015 was not helped when his independent media advisor David Pembroke described RFU chief executive Bill Sweeney as “slippery” amid an accusation that he had leaked stories to the media about the departure of backroom staff. With the World Cup in France nine months away, England have left it perilously late to change their coach but the RFU may feel it has no alternative but to act given the team’s alarming slide under Jones.
