Irishman Felix Jones will leave the Springboks to join England later this year:
FORMER IRELAND INTERNATIONAL Felix Jones will join England’s coaching staff after this year’s World Cup.
The Dublin man had previously been Munster’s attack coach but decided to turn down a contract extension offer from the province and leave in 2019. Jones will hope to end his time in the Springboks set-up by helping them to defend their World Cup crown in France later this year. The Irishman indicated that his young family was the main consideration in his decision to make the move.
“My commitment to the Springboks until the end of the Rugby World Cup is unquestionable, and Rassie, Jacques and the entire Springbok team know that. “We know Felix will remain fully committed to the Springboks’ cause and give everything as we attempt to defend our Rugby World Cup title in France, and hopefully we can make it a special and memorable send-off for him later this year.”
