Eddie Jones: Ex-England wing backs a change at head coach

Ugo Monye wants to replace Eddie Jones as England's head coach. Jones has presided over a disappointing few years. England lost two of their four Autumn Nations Series matches.

England have been in transition for a while and are still not clear on how they want to play. Monye believes the relationship between Eddie Jones and Bill Sweeney has run its course. If Eddie is to stay, he will have a short period of time between now and the next World Cup. The global tournament in France is under a year away. England have the Six Nations in two months and a World cup in nine months. The RFU will not have much time to bring in a new coach. Eddie won the Grand Slam with two weeks of preparation. He won a Grand slam off the back of it in 2016. There will be pressure to act sooner if Eddie stays.

Monye looks at football's example of the relationship between a manager and his players. He also looks into the England fans' reaction to their team's performance against South Africa. He thinks the fans were right to boo the team. Monya left Twickenham the quickest. The fans are wondering why they're paying for the tickets. They want to understand the sense of direction the side is travelling.
