Felix Jones Resigns as England Defence Coach in Unexpected Move
Jones' departure follows that of key strength and conditioning personnel, creating challenges for head coach Steve Borthwick.
- Jones introduced an aggressive blitz defence system that showed promise during the Six Nations and against New Zealand.
- The resignation comes shortly after the exit of Aled Walters and Tom Tombleson from the conditioning staff.
- Jones has a 12-month notice period, during which England hopes to retain his expertise.
- Uncertainty surrounds the role of Kevin Sinfield, who may stay on in a part-time capacity.
- The departures have raised concerns about the stability of Borthwick's coaching environment.
