“Eddie Jones Set to Return to Twickenham Despite Illness and Controversy”

Eddie Jones is expected to be at Twickenham for the upcoming match, despite currently dealing with an illness that prevented him from attending a press conference on Friday. The Japan head coach is set to face England on Sunday, marking his first return to Twickenham as an international coach since his departure from the England head coach position in December 2022 after a seven-year tenure. While Jones is reportedly feeling "unwell but nothing too serious," he has recently faced significant criticism. This scrutiny has intensified following comments made by Danny Care in his autobiography, where he described Jones as having fostered a toxic environment, running a "dictatorship," and behaving like a "despot" who bullied both staff and players. Despite these challenges, Japan remains confident that Jones will fulfill his coaching duties during the match.
