Responding to Danny Care’s allegations that he created a toxic environment during his stint with England, Eddie Jones hit back at the scrumhalf in a typically jovial manner.

The Australian, who led England from 2015 to 2022, saw his young side swept aside in a nine-try rout as the hosts snapped a five-match losing streak at Twickenham.

Jones had avoided media duties earlier in the week but was characteristically outspoken when faced with questions over former England scrum-half Danny Care’s criticsm of his management style.

In his autobiography, Care said that Jones oversaw a “toxic” environment and acted like a “tyrant” and “despot”.

Responding to the allegations for the first time, the 64-year-old added: “I’ve got a new book deal. I just signed it today. It’s going to be called ‘Caring about Care’ and you’ll get all the details in there.”
