Eddie Jones has insisted he had England ‘on the right track’ to peak at next year’s World Cup before he was sacked
Jones has come in for criticism for focusing too much on next year’s World Cup, but he has defended that preoccupation and believes England would have delivered at France 2023. “Of course the next game is important, but the World Cup is the ultimate trophy,” he told BBC Radio 4’s Today. “I wouldn’t do anything differently.
“I thought I was coaching well. I was sacked by Australia in 2005 and I wasn’t coaching well. When I look back now I don’t feel like I was coaching poorly, I thought I was coaching well and that’s the only thing I can control. “I don’t have any regrets about it. I’ve got some great memories of the English players, they are a great bunch. They play hard and they train hard and they have a lot of pride in playing for England and I’m sure they will do well playing under Steve.”
