EDDIE JONES was pulling knives from his back as he came out fighting for his England future.


The Red Rose chief said he would not quit — just 24 hours after Twickenham bosses rejected the chance to discuss his position.

Fans started calling for the Aussie’s head as England lost the series to South Africa and slid down the world rankings to sixth.


But after six defeats in a row, dogged Jones said: “When you are doing well, everyone pats you on the back, and when you are not doing well, you’re pulling knives out of your back.



“These are the great periods. These are the periods you look forward to where everyone thinks you are done and you have to find a way to win.


“I’m enjoying it, loving it, absolutely loving it. The only thing I do is try to coach the team well.

"That’s what I’m paid to do and that’s what I try to do every day.


“If someone decides that’s not good enough, then they decide.”



Asked if he needed the total backing of the RFU boss Steve Brown, Jones added: “I chat to him regularly. I don’t ask for his full support. I do my job.”


Stuart Barnes, ex-England fly-half turned pundit, called for the RFU to dump Jones after a nightmare 2018, including their worst ever Six Nations.

Barnes said: “England are in need of immediate action.


“It appears that a new voice is needed and the biggest risk is to take no risk.”


Jones will have to ride out this rough period while also avoiding a 3-0 series whitewash ahead of the last Test against the Springboks on Saturday.

But the coach insists he predicted this turmoil, yet hasn’t stopped it.


He added: “Have we gone backwards? Of course we have, because we’ve started a new team.


“You’re never glad, but the reality is you’re always going to get it. I 100 per cent knew it was coming. You cannot expect to keep winning.



“And in a lot of the wins we had, luck went on our side. You get that. Then you have other periods when you don’t get any luck.


“Every team I’ve ever been involved with, which has been a champion team, goes  through this.”


South Africa are licking their lips after No 8 Billy Vunipola went home yesterday with a broken arm.


Boks forward Duane Vermeulen said: “Billy is England’s go-forward guy and without him they struggled. It is a big loss.”

Export result set on Dbeaver to CSV

Export result set on Dbeaver to CSV Normally I use Dbeaver for windows and always export my result set like this: run my query --> select the result --> export the result set --> select export to clipboard --> done This step by step puts my result set in my clipboard and I can paste it wherever I want to work with it. The problem is that now I am using dbeaver for mac and this guide is not working. I can go on until the moment that I select my result set like in the image below: exporting data set But once I go further in the process, in the last step I get: no query Note that in "source" it was suppose to show the query that originated the result set, but instead it says just "select. As a result it does't select my result or anything (besides being "successful"). Normally my query would show up there automatically and I couldn't find any option that corrects this problem in the menus. Please help me! Thanks. Aft...
