[HEADLINE]Jones contrite as his mom wades in

– England head coach Eddie Jones has apologised for swearing on television after Saturday’s stuttering win over Argentina – having received a telling-off from his 93-year-old mother.

Australian Jones, 57, 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.”

The win failed to excite the crowd and Jones acknowledged that it had not been the most entertaining match.
