FORMER Wales flanker Lyn Jones has stepped down from his position as head coach of the Netherlands after failing to lead the side to the next stage of Rugby World Cup qualifying.

The 60-year-old (pictured) had held the role since 2022 but has now walked away after his team blew their chances of making it to the 2027 tournament in Australia by losing to Belgium at the Rugby Europe Championship

That 31-10 defeat came in the fifth-place play-off at last month's tournament and cost them a place at the Final Qualification Tournament in November, the winner of which becomes the final team to book their place at the next World Cup.
