Felix Jones has unexpectedly resigned from his role with the England rugby team after just seven months, a move that has left players and coaches in shock. His departure follows that of strength and conditioning coach Aled Walters, who has joined the Ireland setup, raising concerns about the stability of the England coaching staff ahead of the upcoming autumn internationals. Players like George Furbank and Fin Smith expressed their surprise and disappointment, underscoring the significant impact Jones had on the team's defensive strategies. Despite the RFU not officially confirming Jones' exit, players are bracing for adjustments as head coach Steve Borthwick searches for replacements. Jones, who was instrumental in implementing a successful defensive system, had been expected to fulfill a 12-month notice period, but his future with the team remains uncertain. The situation highlights a troubling trend of coaching instability within the England setup during a critical period for the team.
