New head coach Eddie Jones has begun overhauling his England backroom team by getting rid of Mike Catt, Andy Farrell and Graham Rowntree. The trio worked under former boss Stuart Lancaster, who was relieved of his duties last month following a disappointing home World Cup campaign. "We felt it was the right time to make changes," said Australian Jones, 55. "They are all experienced guys and have contributed greatly to this England team over recent years." He added: "I know everyone is appreciative of their hard work and commitment." Jones, who has previously worked with South Africa, and been head coach of Australia and Japan, became England's first foreign head coach when he agreed a four-year deal in November.
