England head coach’s contract expires in 2021RFU is in no rush to extend Jones’s dealEddie Jones has revealed he will hold talks with the Rugby
Football Union chief executive, Bill Sweeney, over potentially extending his contract through to the 2023
World Cup as
England on Sunday moved into pole position to claim the Six Nations title. In a surprising claim that demonstrates his long-term future is far from straightforward. however, Jones said following England’s victory over Wales he “never enjoys coaching” .
England were installed as heavy favourites for a first Six Nations crown since 2017 after France’s defeat by
Scotland on Sunday moved them top of the table with their rescheduled match against
Italy to come. France’s defeat also means that there will be no winner crowned until Italy’s two postponed matches are rescheduled while on Sunday night Ireland’s trip to
Paris on Saturday was plunged into doubt with the French government cracking down on mass gatherings due to fears of the spread of the coronavirus. With England’s match in Italy unlikely to take place before next season, if at all, the squad have now returned to their clubs while Jones will conduct a review of his side’s four matches with his coaches.
