Eddie Jones to focus on building new England team

Jones is contracted to remain England head coach until 2021.

Eddie Jones has responded to England’s World Cup final defeat by South Africa by admitting the current team is “finished”.

A 32-12 rout in Yokohama on Saturday crushed the nation’s hopes of lifting the Webb Ellis Trophy for the second time after expectations had been raised by emphatic victories over Australia and New Zealand in the previous rounds.

Jones is contracted to remain England head coach until 2021 and the Rugby Football Union is expected to offer fresh terms that will take him to the next World Cup in France.

“We couldn’t get out of it. We tried to break it and sometimes you lose your wicket, which happened. Full credit to South Africa they scrummed well and that’s the game.

“And if you can’t get on the front foot then you look like a team that lacks ideas, lacks energy, looks tired. All those things come into play.

“The reality is something wasn’t right and we couldn’t fix it on the field. And that happens.”
