Jones had previously maintained he would step down after the 2019 World Cup, but the contract extension will help provide an element of continuity into the next World Cup cycle, rather than require the RFU to adopt the “rip it up and start again” approach needed after the last two tournaments in 2011 and 2015.
And the fact that the RFU has said that it intends to appoint Eddie's successor in 2020 to work alongside the Australian for a year is as innovative as it is surprising. What price on that man being Exeter's Rob Baxter?
