- Seven-year tenure ends nine months from World Cup
- Steve Borthwick the leading candidate to take reins
Eddie Jones has been sacked as England head coach just nine months out from the 2023 Rugby World Cup, with Leicester’s Steve Borthwick the overwhelming frontrunner to replace him.
The Rugby Football Union’s decision to end the Australian’s seven-year tenure comes after a review into England’s dismal autumn campaign, with Jones’s team losing to Argentina and South Africa, battling back to draw with New Zealand and beating only Japan.
