    One tricky thing is when players lead with their head. On that one, I'm not sure at all - you see this whenever someone is trying to drive over the line - pretty much every tackle makes head contact - what do we do in that situation

    Have more tries

    Plenty of talk in the English press today about the "Break Clause" in Eddie Jones's contract being invoked by the RFU.

    It's the briefings to the Press which may portend doom for Jones, and maybe they're looking to axe him now to give time to both find a new coach and give new coach as much time as possible before RWC2023

    Eddie Jones faces RFU talks on future with break clause in England deal

    Eddie Jones faces RFU talks on future with break clause in England deal

    The RFU’s chief executive, Bill Sweeney, is to meet head coach Eddie Jones after England’s poor Six Nations campaign

    Eddie Jones is facing crunch talks with the Rugby Football Union chief executive, Bill Sweeney, as part of a review into England’s poor Six Nations campaign with the head coach’s contract understood to contain a break clause.
    
    Jones is the world’s highest-paid rugby union coach and agreed an extension through to the 2023 World Cup last April. It is believed, however, that it would not necessarily be prohibitively expensive for the RFU to part ways with Jones due to a clause in his contract, similar to that which existed in his previous deal. In that instance the clause was performance related, dependent on how England fared at the 2019 World Cup.

    The Eddie Jones cycle is in full effect, he's an incredible coach, but something about his methods always results in this, where the team and the results fall away, and markedly.

    Although, this is the second time around for him and England.

    Speaking of second time around, rumours are circulating that Woodward fancies another tilt at the job. I so hope that happens.

    This doesn't sound like reality to me. It sounds like somebody starting this up on the fact that Woodward was clearly annoyed with the direction the England team is going in as part of his punditry on the weekend.

    Which I might add, is the first time I thought Woodward was actually making a good go of punditry.

    Well he actually applied for the France job in 2016, so maybe he still has coaching ambitions?

    @booboo it was clear to me, so I should be considered for all future TMO appointments.

    How good would that be, with @bones on the TMO desk.

    Forget the 'try'/'no try' graphics, you'll get memes and gifs signalling whatever the hell decision he's made up, beer in one hand, durry in the other, feet up on the desk muting the ref when he's trying to talk.

    Love it

    Looks like Eddie Jones might be heading for the chop as England boss:
