going to Leicester in 2020 and, with no warning, the forwards/defence coach John Mitchell jumping ship in 2021. Borthwick and Mitchell had each fitted the bill of that possible successor in waiting.
In terms of damaging results, the 2021 loss to Scotland at Twickenham for the first time since 1983, was a watershed, contributing to a fifth-placed finish in the Six Nations. Sweeney continued to hang his hat on the occasional good days such as a narrow win over South Africa in autumn 2021, amid talk that the RFU could not afford to pay Jones off.
Instead Jones lurched on to last month’s Autumn Nations Series, which brought news that Seibold would be taking a job in Australian rugby league, to be replaced by another barely heard of union novice in Brett Hodgson. The extent of the boos for the team at the final whistle of the Springbok match was exaggerated in some reporting, but the one thing the RFU loathes above all else is the idea of alienating the English rugby public, and its knock-on effect on the bottom line, with top tickets approaching £200 for home matches in the 2023 Six Nations.
