22nd June 2018, 11:00 pm == EDDIE JONES does not fear the sack — even if England are whitewashed by South Africa. The RFU hierarchy rejected a chance to publicly back the Red Rose boss after the team went 2-0 down in this three-match series and slipped to No 6 in the world rankings.

Ahead of the Cape Town Test, defiant Jones said: “I don’t need to worry about my job. All I need to worry about is coaching better. “I woke up, looked at Table Mountain and thought, ‘It’s a nice place — particularly when you’re on top, not so much when you’re looking from the bottom’.
