Eddie Jones, a well-known figure in world rugby, has been leading the Japan national rugby team since last year. The 66-year-old coach has now found himself in trouble.
Jones has been handed a six-week suspension for verbal abuse directed at local officials during a recent Australian tour involving the Japan U23 team. This suspension will see him miss four Japan games, including their Nations Championship opener against Italy in Tokyo in July. To make matters worse, his salary has been cut as part of the disciplinary action.
Disciplinary Action Against Eddie Jones
Jones’ suspension is a significant blow to the Japan team, particularly with their Nations Championship campaign approaching. The team will have to navigate these crucial games without their experienced coach at the helm.
