Jones' success, like Trump's, cannot be questioned as the results of both speak for themselves but it is the manner in which both carry themselves that has earned the ire of Telfer, who made the comparison ahead of the opening Six Nations weekend.
It is the frequent lack of respect and class, coupled with the aggressive ruthlessness and desire to win at all costs, of both men that most stands out for the Scotsman, as well as their shared enjoyment of dominating the headlines.
"Eddie Jones doesn't want to beat teams, he wants to demolish them, which I find a bit disappointing," Telfer told the BBC. "To me, he's building his whole team on set-piece and the building of the attack comes secondary. Having coached Australia and Japan you would have thought the opposite would be the case.

In France they just boo the other team, in Argentina they boo the other team, in England it's just disdain. 'Why are we playing these plebs?' I don't like Twickenham; a concrete jungle, nothing attractive about it at all."Prendergast admits huge disappointment at Munster situation
