Why England sacked Eddie Jones and want Steve Borthwick

About this episode

Ben, Charlie & Charles are back for a bonus episode discussing not one but two massive stories in the world of international rugby!

England have parted company with Eddie Jones just nine months out from the Rugby World Cup while Wales have also moved on from their head coach Wayne Pivac, acting swiftly to bring back the man who Pivac replaced, Warren Gatland.

Ben, Charlie and Charles take you inside Jones' final 48 hours as England head coach and discuss why the decision was made, why Jones was so reluctant to go and, ultimately, if it was the right decision to make so close to the World Cup.

We also discuss the likely arrival of Steve Borthwick from Leicester Tigers and what his coaching ticket could look like, with the RFU reported to be parting with close to £1 million to bring their former coach back.

And we answer the best of your questions regarding Jones' dismissal.
