Jones apologises

England head rugby coach Eddie Jones has apologised for swearing on television after Sunday’s stuttering win over Argentina – having received a telling-off from his 93-year-old mother. Australian Jones was frustrated by his team’s patchy performance in their 21-8 victory at Twickenham and his frustration boiled over during a post-match interview. ‘‘I have apologised for the language I used,’’ Jones told the BBC. ‘‘I got a phone call this morning from my mother – who is 93 – rapping me over the knuckles. I am in trouble with my mother and that’s a big enough punishment for me. She still tells me not to swear. I am in the doghouse and certainly won’t do it again.’’
