Felix Jones: Jacques Nienaber says remote-working England coach 'is fine'

M.Nguyen22 min ago
Leinster boss Jacques Nienaber says he has seen England's outgoing defence coach Felix Jones socially since the Irishman was replaced in Steve Borthwick's set-up.

Nienaber, who worked with Jones in South Africa's successful Rugby World Cup campaigns in 2019 and 2023, says the pair met up to watch the Springboks clinch their Rugby Championship title on Saturday.

Jones, who resigned from his England role in September after only seven months, is being held to a 12-month notice period by the Rugby Football Union.

With Oyonnax head coach Joe El-Abd recruited as defence coach in his place, Jones will work remotely, providing tactical analysis for England.
