Eddie Jones has spoken out about being verbally abused by a "clown" during half-time of England's convincing win over Japan. This match marked Jones's first return to Twickenham as a coach since his dismissal by the Rugby Football Union in December 2022. Despite the circumstances, he expressed admiration for his former team, but his experience was overshadowed by an incident with a spectator as he descended from the coaching box at half-time. In addition to addressing the abuse, Jones responded to Danny Care's claims that his coaching style resembled a "dictatorship." He humorously suggested that he might release a book to share his side of the story, hinting at a potential new book deal. As expected, Steve Borthwick's England team secured a comfortable victory, but the day was not without its controversies for Jones.
