Eddie Jones finds it laughable to hear Gareth Southgate coming in for heavy criticism after the England football teams poor Nations League results.England rugby union head coach Jones says those rushing to judgeSouthgates aptitude as bo s of the Three Lions are showing they have short memories.Southgate led England to the 2018 World Cup semi-finals and to the Euro 2020 final, but two defeats to Hungary either side of draws with Germany and Italy have led to a backlash. Devan Dubnyk Kids Jersey There has been a clamour among some impatient supporters for Southgate to be replaced before the World Cup gets under way in November.Jones said he 100 per cent understood the position in which Southgate finds himself, having faced flak himself over Englands rugby Kevin Fiala Kids Jersey results.He also pointed to the upturn in English cricketing fortunes this month as another sign of how fickle England fans can be, with the team emerging from a desperate rut in the Test game and suddenly being hailed as world-beaters.I find English sport amusing in that way, Jones said.English cricket two weeks ago didnt know what they were doing, complete debacle. They win two Tests, and now where can they Nino Niederreiter Women Jersey go? They can go to Australia and they can beat Australia in the Ashes with 10 men, theyre that good now.And English football, they were the darlings, and they lose a couple of games and you can see their players are probably struggling after a hard season, and now theyre the worst thing since sliced bread.So everyone takes a turn in the chair.Weve had our turn in the chair, and hopefully well move to a chair on the more comfortable side now. Jones and Southgate have previously met to exchange coaching ideas, and both will hope those pay off in the big tournaments that lie ahead.Englands rugby side suffered a dismal Six Nations at the start of the year and travel to face Australia in three Tests next month.Speaking on BBC 5 Live Sport, Jones said his team were in a rebuilding proce s, with the focus on shaping a Mats Zuccarello Jersey unit to be competitive at the Rugby World Cup next year in France.Theres always criticism when you dont win particularly when youre with England theres a lot of criticismbut we know weve got to go through theproce s ofrebuilding Marcus Foligno Jersey the team and sometimesthats a bit uncomfortable, Jones said.He said the Australia series was an opportunity to create new history, but there will be a poignant reunion Down Under for Australian Jones, too.I havent been back to Australia since 2019, so I get to see my mother, whos now 97, and she rang me this morning and said, Make sure you win, Jones said. So you can see where I get my competitive spirit from.
