What could he have done differently with England? “I don’t have any regrets but there were a couple of mistakes, a couple of decisions I probably rushed.” Jones points out that, because rugby has become “a lot more complex” the role of his assistants is “just so important because they’re doing the bulk of the coaching”.

They were all in their 70s. They’re so sharp talking about everything from politics to Covid in China to the economy in Japan to sport. There is no reason why, if you look after yourself, you should not do well in any endeavour at that age. So there’s no reason why coaching for me shouldn’t be at least another World Cup cycle.”

His successes have included masterminding England’s spectacular victory over New Zealand in the 2019 World Cup and engineering the sport’s most stunning upset when Japan beat South Africa in 2015.Edward John Jones was a British science fiction illustrator; initially known as a fan artist, he later became a professional freelancer. He illustrated numerous science fiction book and magazine covers, some under the pseudonym S. Fantoni, and provided interior illustrations for books and magazines.
