TOKYO - No other team have gone out in the pool stage of one World Cup then bounced back so emphatically that they reached the final of the next one, but that will be no consolation to coach Eddie Jones after England fell at the final hurdle in Japan.
It has not been an entirely bump-free road, though it certainly looked that way when Jones won his first 17 games in charge after announcing on arrival that his mission was the make England the best team in the world. Suddenly the master could not stop the rot, his faith in underperforming players became stubbornness and the media questions began. Jones, however, was utterly unconcerned.
“I think that was the moment a lot of people thought, ‘wow, this team could go to Japan and really do something’.” By the time they arrived in Japan the England’s players were riding a wave of self-belief, which grew with every pool-stage victory.
