Eddie Jones is poised to learn his fate as the England head coach in the next fortnight with the Rugby Football Union conducting a review into the "really disappointing" autumn campaign, stating that results have not been good enough.
Bill Sweeney, the RFU chief executive, will lead the review, holding a series of meetings with board and executive members as well as former players and coaches, whose participation is on the condition of anonymity, over the next two weeks and deciding whether to back Jones through to the World Cup or replace him with barely 10 months to go.
In a short statement yesterday, the union expressed its dismay at an autumn campaign with just one win from four matches, and opted against giving its public backing to Jones.
