Jason Robinson questions Eddie Jones appointment as England coach

This content was originally posted in 7DAYS UAE website at: Jason Robinson questions Eddie Jones appointment as England coach Jason Robinson says England should have replaced Stuart Lancaster with another home-grown coach, but he believes Eddie Jones has the credentials to take the squad forward after a harrowing Rugby World Cup campaign. England became the first ever host nation to fail to make it beyond the pool stages, a fact that ultimately led the Rugby Football Union to replace Lancaster as coach. The vastly experienced Australian Jones was then handed the reigns and Robinson is hopeful he can be a success, despite English coaches being overlooked for the role. “In an ideal world I would like to see an English coach, but ultimately it’s about success and England moving forward,” Robinson told 7DAYS. “Eddie Jones has done well over the years, in lots of different roles, whether that’s been at club or international level. “He’ll be judged on results but it’s a great opportunity for him.” Robinson also believes that Japan’s success at the World Cup under Jones proves that he can get the most out of the talent available. “That wasn’t a fluke that they beat South Africa and did so well in the tournament,” said the 2003 World Cup winner. “They all worked extremely hard for one another and hopefully can get England doing the same moving forward.”   Read the original story at: Jason Robinson questions Eddie Jones appointment as England coach
