“We’re upset it has completed early and we owe rather a lot to him. I’ve been round for some time now and never been round too many adjustments, each at membership and worldwide stage. It isn’t nice to undergo.
“I do not suppose it has come from the gamers. There’s clearly stuff all of us wish to get higher at from the outcomes however as gamers you have a look at your self and see what you are able to do.”
Jones’ sacking adopted a overview into England’s disappointing autumn marketing campaign, which noticed one win from 4 matches.
