Eddie Jones will leave English rugby more divided than ever

Eddie Jones will leave English rugby divided. He won 18 straight matches in his first reign and upset New Zealand in the 2019 World Cup semi-final. Since then, he has been seen as a man of extremes. His tactics of alienation, disparagement and fear have been corrosive. He has held the England job longer than any of his previous ones. Last summer he attacked independent schools. Henry Arundell is tipped to be a World Champion next year. The number of staff turnover is worrying. It is not a basis on which to build a stable regime. it is a nagging question whether he ever truly embraced the country or the English Rugby mentality.
