-

made a fleeting visit to Oxford last week to give a talk to children attending a coaching clinic run by Freddie Tuilagi. In the midst of an entertaini­ng Q&A session, he re-emphasised that the 2019 World Cup would mark the end of his tenure as England head coach, but when asked if he fancied any other Test jobs, he mentioned the USA — as a nation with the resources to gatecrash the top 10 of the global rankings. Now Jones is in Los Angeles for a World Rugby coaches’ conference, so US rugby officials would be well advised to check whether the Australian’s retirement plans could be delayed. Meanwhile, Jones (left) will await updates on weekend injury scares involving lock George Kruis and centre Ben Te’o.
