England coach Jones is sacked after dire run

:Eddie Jones's roller-coaster ride as England coach came to an end on Tuesday when he was sacked by the Rugby Football Union following a review into their November series that ended with the team being booed off the pitch at Twickenham.

England won only five of their 12 games in 2022 after a second-successive Six Nations where they lost three of their five games. Despite the continuing struggles on the pitch, the Australian insisted that after he had got his squad together for a three-month training camp next summer they would reveal a whole new attacking structure and emerge as serious contenders to lift the Webb Ellis Cup for a second time.

In a statement on Tuesday, Sweeney said:"It is important to recognise the huge contribution Eddie has made to English rugby, winning three Six Nations Championships, one Grand Slam and taking us to a Rugby World Cup final. He has the highest win ratio of any England head coach and has helped develop the leadership skills of many players and coaches.

England's decline over the last three years is in sharp contrast to the success that Jones brought in the aftermath of the 2015 group-stage exit.
