Eddie Jones: Mum asked β€˜why didn’t you win?’ against Fiji

England head coach Eddie Jones has told ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 5 Live that his mother contacted him after the Barbarians v Fiji rugby match at Twickenham to ask why he β€˜didn’t win’.

Speaking to Nihal Arthanayake, Jones - who is part Japanese - spoke about his upbringing and, in particular, his mother.

β€œShe had great values,” he said. β€œIt was interesting because I never understood the Japanese values she put into us until I went to Japan to live”.

This clip was taken from Nihal Arthanayake on Tuesday 19 November 2019.
