https://twitter.com/5liveSport/status/1008102323602804736 The Rugby Football Union released a brief statement declaring that England’s embattled head coach retained their support with a spokeswoman from the union declaring: “The RFU supports Eddie Jones and his coaching team." The former Wallabies head coach is confident that his side can end their losing streak in the third and final Test in Cape Town this weekend and that England are not too far away from reversing their form."No, s---, I've been doing it for long enough, I don't need that," replied Jones when asked if he needed any bolstering amid a difficult period for the national team.
"If someone decides that's not good enough, then they decide. I don't ask for the full support of [RFU chief executive] Steve Brown. I chat to him regularly.
"I've been through this many times. There are the great periods, the ones you look forward to, where everyone thinks you're done and you have to find a way to win.
"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. That's the reality of it. I'm enjoying it, loving it, absolutely loving it."
“My job is to make the team win and it is not winning, but I have also got a job to do which is the process of coaching. I think I am doing that as well as I can. And the results will come,” Jones said. “I haven’t had too many times when I have experienced this. And it’s tough. Sometimes you have to be very disciplined in the way you think. “But we are only two to three per cent away from turning this around. And I know that. I absolutely know that. “Just like when I took the team over that couldn’t make it out of their World Cup pool, this is the job of the coach, to find a way to turn it around.”
