Jones to visit rugby teams in August
England head coach Eddie Jones will travel to visit a number of rugby teams this month.
He will first head to Treviso, Italy where he will spend three days with Benetton [4-6 August], before visiting Georgia Rugby in Tbilisi to work alongside their coaches [18-20 August].
Jones will continue to visit Premiership clubs, including monthly coaching visits to Leicester Tigers. He was recently invited to watch Manchester United’s pre-season training when the Premier League side were based at Pennyhill Park.
Jones said: “These visits to other clubs, countries and sports are a great chance for coaches to increase knowledge and share knowledge. It’s important we give back to the game, such as my work in supporting emerging nations like Georgia.
“Over the next two months, the focus will move to Premiership clubs, meeting with the Directors of Rugby and players and seeing how pre-season training is going.”
England will host three fixtures at Twickenham Stadium this autumn, opening with Tonga on Saturday 6 November (3.15pm KO).
They will then play Australia on Saturday 13 November (5.30pm KO), and South Africa, in their final game, on Saturday 20 November (3.15pm KO).
Tickets are on sale now to the rugby family and hospitality packages are available at www.EnglandRugby.com/Hospitality.
All visits are subject to government COVID-19 restrictions.
