ENGLAND ASSISTANT COACHES Simon Amor and Jason Ryles are stepping down from their roles in Eddie Jones’ management team.
Jones will begin the search for a new man to oversee the attack after Amor and the Rugby Football Union “mutually decided” to part company, while Australian skills coach Ryles has stepped down because of the challenges created by the pandemic.
LONDON (AP) Two members of Eddie Jones’ backroom staff stepped down Friday in the wake of England’s worst performance in the Six Nations rugby tournament.
