Danny Cipriani Criticizes Eddie Jones' Coaching Style

Danny Cipriani has publicly criticized former England coach Eddie Jones, describing him as overly aggressive and not fit to lead the national team. Cipriani's comments align with those of other former players, including Danny Care, who characterized Jones' coaching style as dictatorial. He reflected on his own exclusion from the team, suggesting that Jones felt he could not intimidate him, leading to his omission from the 2019 World Cup squad. While acknowledging Jones' successes, Cipriani emphasized the importance of inspiring players rather than merely winning games. He is set to participate in a charity match this weekend to support Motor Neurone Disease research, a cause inspired by his former teammate Ed Slater. Cipriani expressed a degree of compassion for Jones, suggesting that his confrontational style stems from personal struggles.
