England will not be leveraging the insights of former Springbok assistant coach Felix Jones ahead of their crucial match against South Africa this weekend. Reports indicate that neither the players nor key coaching staff, including senior assistant coach Richard Wigglesworth, have been in contact with Jones, who is still technically employed by the Rugby Football Union (RFU) in a remote capacity. Wigglesworth confirmed that he has not communicated with Jones, and players have also stated that they have not received any guidance from him in preparation for the upcoming game. Jones resigned from his position as defence coach following the summer tour to Japan and New Zealand, but he has yet to be formally released from his contract with the RFU.
