Eddie Jones asked to follow suit and take pay cut by RFU

England head coach Eddie Jones has been asked to accept a reduction in pay of over 25 per cent as the RFU tries to reduce costs in light of the coronavirus pandemic.


Jones is said to be the highest-paid coach in test rugby, with a salary of around £750,000. 

 

He has been asked to take a cut with English rugby's governing body saying it is facing revenue losses of around £45-50m over the next 18 months due to the virus.

According to PA news agency discussions are already underway with the head coach and his assistants over reducing their pay.
