Eddie Jones says RFU would be ‘foolhardy’ to sack Borthwick before World Cup
Eddie Jones believes the Rugby Football Union should not replace Steve Borthwick as England head coach before the World Cup in Australia next year. England went into the Six Nations on a run of 11 wins and extended that to 12 in the opening game against Wales.
TL;DR
- Eddie Jones believes Steve Borthwick should not be replaced as England head coach before the next World Cup.
- England had a poor Six Nations campaign, losing four matches after an initial 12-game winning streak.
- Jones, who previously coached England and was sacked in 2022, stated that Borthwick needs RFU support to address the team's issues.
- He suggested that any review of the Six Nations performance must be conducted by someone who understands Borthwick's selection and personnel challenges.
- Jones considers changing the coach now to be 'foolhardy'.
