The Good, The Bad & The Rugby

And there he goes. Eddie Jones’ 7-year tenure as England Head Coach came to an end today. So, Payno spoke with the Australian’s right hand man, David Pembroke, who was texted by Eddie during the show! Pembroke launched a broadside against some of the English media, said that there was no ‘unrest’ in the England camp and that Eddie will be gutted to not take this group of players to the World Cup. Payno also speaks to the returning Hask, who pays tribute to the “best” head coach he’d ever had and both look ahead to a new era under Richard Cockerill and perhaps Steve Borthwick.
