Eddie Jones signs new contract to stay until 2021

    The head coach of England’s rugby union team, Eddie Jones, has signed a new contract.

    The deal will see the 57-year-old Australian remain until 2021. His previous contract ran until the end of the Rugby World Cup in Japan next year.

    England have won 22 of his 23 Tests since Jones took over the role in November 2015.

    He said extending his deal was "not a difficult decision".
