FELIX JONES HAS departed England’s coaching team with immediate effect, the RFU have confirmed.
Jones handed in his notice in August due to his disillusionment with Steve Borthwick’s setup but was due to serve out the remaining 12 months of his contract.
The RFU initially described the former Munster and Ireland fullback as providing remote analysis to Borthwick and his players, but it subsequently emerged that Jones was not in contact with his fellow England coaches during the November tests.
Joe El-Abd took over from Jones as defence coach during England’s autumn campaign.
