The RU (please change to the ERU) must be checking the extended contact they signed Eddie on for the wording of those out clauses.
The (E)RU are actually in a little financial doo-doo due to poor management of Twickenham re-building costs apparently. Big redundancies planned with most of the cuts coming at grass-roots level.
Buying out Jones is estimated to be in excess of £1m according to *The Guardian

Ben Youngs was curt and seriously rude when the Sky reporter tried to interview him after the game. Pretty appalling really and shows the real problems that Jones has to deal with or has created.
I watched it and he seemed perfectly fine tbh. He simply answered her predictably tired and uninsightful question. Having answered it, he walked off. Curt, but not rude.

Fuck off. He doesn't owe anyone AB apology for that. The media really are a pack of snowflakes if that is considered the height of rudeness these days.

Apologise for being English you c*nt!!

Still not sold on the Boks being "back". Lets see how they go against the Argies and the Wobs first.

Still, I hope you're taking pleasure from them beating the Poms twice ... I know I am.

What a woeful performance for the last 70 minutes. That was as bad as anything I've seen from England recently. The Saffers were just so much quicker in thought and deed and any time England looked like building some pressure some dick would do something stupid, petulant or clumsy and give RSA an out. De Klerk and Vermuelen very good again.
Something is very wrong in the England camp at the moment.
Oh and by the way it is the RFU.

And here I was thinking it’s The RFU.

@billy-tell No. That would be arrogant
It's the RFU because when they formed the union it was the only union, others that followed identified themselves by their locations be it county, country or province.

A simple vote at the AGM and it would become the ERFU. More chance of pigs flying I would think.

Based on the Welsh series, SA will destroy Argentina

@mn5 No. It's the impression it gives. Youngs is a professional sportsman who would have had media training and knows media interaction and perception is critical. It was poor and that why he apologised - good for him.
Add in that the BBC is reporting that Marler and Mike Brown had an altercation with supporters and the impression being given is of a team of out of control bad losers.
Someone really needs to get a grip.

Him acting like a cock? No way.
-
@mn5 I'd heard that while Brown is a cock on the field, he was a pretty decent bloke once the final whistle has gone.
Perhaps they were the same numb-nutted England "supporters" at Twickenham I've sat next to and sadly exist everywhere in other countries
