- Jones claimed that ‘distractions’ had affected US Open winner
- Gabby Logan and Jo Durie among those to criticise his remarks
The England rugby union head coach, Eddie Jones, has attracted a backlash with comments he made about “distractions” affecting Emma Raducanu.
Speaking about the need for young rugby players like Marcus Smith to stay focused on sport, Jones said: “The big thing for good young players is distractions … there’s a reason why the young girl who won the US Open hasn’t done so well afterwards.”
