Eddie Jones urges England fans to 'keep the faith' following disappointing Six Nations campaign
Eddie Jones has asked fans to "keep the confidence", after England had to make due with a third-place finish in the Guinness Six Nations following a 25-13 loss to France in Paris.
France asserted their initial Six Nations crown and Grand Slam starting around 2010, while England were left to ponder another disappointing effort.
For the third time in five years, England finished the competition with three losses from their five matches, which has uplifted the examination on Jones, only year and a half in front of the Rugby World Cup.
The 62-year-old wouldn't be drawn on theory encompassing his future on Saturday night, and talking on Sunday morning, he repeated his conviction that he is the ideal man to lead England.
"They [England fans] must have a few confidence," Jones said. "I think I have made a sensible showing for England throughout recent years.
"We are going through a period now where we are revamping the group and it requires some investment. Take a gander at the French group, it took them three years to come out on top for the [Six Nations] Championship.
"We have reconstructed the side from the last Six Nations. I think the advancement is exceptionally sure. The outcomes aren't the outcomes we would like.
"We might all want to be winning competitions and be top of the table, however we are not exactly sufficient to do that now, but rather inside the following 12 to 14 months when we get ready for the World Cup, we will be."
At the point when found out if he held the sponsorship of the RFU in front of the 2023 release, he added: "You would need to ask the RFU that. My occupation is simply to take care of my business, which is to begin getting ready for the Australian visit now."
Britain return to activity against the Barbarians at Twickenham on June 19 preceding they withdraw for a three-Test series in Australia, and Jones is bullish about what's in store.
"Am I satisfied with the gig I'm doing? I'm not satisfied with the outcomes, however do I believe I'm training great? 100%," Jones guaranteed.
"I think I am training great, yet at times you don't obtain the outcomes. I've instructed for enough time to realize that this is all essential for modifying a group, and reconstructing a group at worldwide level is a mind boggling and fascinating venture, especially while you're training a group like England.
"The assumption is so high and you get no scope when you are bringing youthful players through, who will generally be more conflicting as they gain proficiency with their art at global level.
"I was unable to be more amped up for the possibilities for this group. The main thing I am stressed over now is getting ready for Australia.
"I think we have 11 Tests before the World Cup, and that implies Freddie [Steward] and folks like Marcus [Smith] and Harry Randall will expand their Test insight by a 100 percent in that period. The circumstance for our group going into the World Cup I believe is excellent."
Later on Sunday, the RFU put out an announcement backing Jones. It said: "Eddie Jones is building another England group and against an unmistakable technique we are empowered by the strong headway the group has made during this Six Nations crusade.
"Eddie and his group of mentors and players will direct a full audit as is ordinary after every competition. The RFU warning board which comprises of board and chief individuals, previous players and mentors alongside Eddie will likewise embrace a de-brief to examine the solid positive strides forward during this mission and the regions we want to address. The warning gathering has been set up starting around 2019 and it meets consistently both during and after every competition to assess clear targets and movement.
"The RFU proceeds to completely uphold Eddie, the training group and players and we are amped up for the mid year visit and the advancement to reconstruct a triumphant England group."
'No conspicuous contender to supplant Jones'
"Keep the confidence", said Eddie Jones - however would it be advisable for us?
Britain completed third in the current year's Six Nations after two successes from five. It has left numerous English rugby fans addressing in the event that Jones is the perfect man to take the group forward to the following year's World Cup in France.
The RFU will direct its typical competition audit, however Jones is probably not going to go under strain from his supervisors at Twickenham on the grounds that his agreement lapses after the World Cup and he's made it clear he will leave.
There's additionally no self-evident, accessible, reasonable contender to supplant him.
In any case, concerns stay over England's midfield choices without injury-inclined Manu Tuilagi, and an absence of a long haul plan B year and a half out from the World Cup.
Jones has likewise settled on problematic strategic choices in this Six Nations. Subbing fly-half Marcus Smith in the strained shutting stages against Scotland - and neglecting to get Jamie George on the field for a critical lineout demonstrated exorbitant.
Had England beaten Scotland at Murrayfield in the opening round, Jones' position wouldn't be being referred to.
For England fans scrutinizing the man in control, Jones focuses to consistent advancement and a youthful creating group. He has a valid statement.
The Head Coach has changed his number 8, scrum-half, fly-half and full-back over the most recent five months. Alex Dombrandt, Harry Randall, Marcus Smith and Freddie Steward have 35 global covers among them and are each of the 24 or more youthful.
Every one of the four are extraordinary abilities and have huge global fates - yet they are as yet getting acquainted with everything. The key inquiry is: would they be able to top in France in year and a half's time?
Jones thinks in this way, and having discarded Mako and Billy Vunipola looking for the "New England", he surely trusts so.
It is actually significant too that England's backline is feeling the loss of the ability and experience of skipper Owen Farrell, Anthony Watson, Jonny May and Jonathan Joseph to injury.
The England rugby glass absolutely isn't as yet full; whether it's half-full or half-void will turn out to be much more clear in Australia this mid year.
