England Rugby: Why Did England Sack Eddie Jones?

Eddie Jones has been sacked by the RFU. He will be replaced by Steve Borthwick. The 62-year-old Australian-born coach has led England to three Six Nations championships and one Grand Slam since taking over in 2015. England reached the 2019 World Cup final under Jones' guidance. His contract was set to expire after the 2023 Rugby World cup. RFu decided to end it after Autumn internationals. Removing Jones from his position is estimated to cost the organization between £650,000 and £700,00. Bill Sweeney, the CEO, expressed appreciation for Jones’ work during his seven-years tenure.
