• e-mail

England's back room staff have been told they will find out if they have a future under Eddie Jones by the end of this week.

Stuart Lancaster's successor is understood to have met with Andy Farrell (attack), Graham Rowntree (forwards) and Mike Catt (skills) as well as members of the strength and conditioning team and head of marginal gains Matt Parker.

Sportsmail understands they will be told their fate in the next 48 hours.

Jones has effectively been given a blank cheque by RFU chief executive Ian Ritchie, who handed the coaching trio six-year deals along with Lancaster last year, and told it will be his call who he works with in the future.

Bristol forwards coach Steve Borthwick is already understood to have been approached, leaving Rowntree's position under threat while Farrell is understood to have come in for criticism from players in the RFU review conducted after the disastrous World Cup campaign.

Catt's position is also under severe threat following an ill-judged training ground bust up with Danny Cipriani saw senior players side with the fly half.

Saracens defence coach Paul Gustard and forwards coach Alex Sanderson are among those Jones will consider bringing on board after working with them during his time in the Aviva Premiership.

A formal announcement is expected next week with 'no one's position guaranteed' according to one RFU source.
