Eddie Jones: England's saviour or 'another school teacher'?

Eddie Jones has been described as "one of the http://www.seahawksofficialnflonline.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_KAM_CHANCELLO... top six coaches in the world" by BBC rugby commentator Ian Robertson - but a "school teacher" by former Australia captain David Campese.

Jones, 55, is set to become England's new head coach following talks with the Rugby Football Union on Thursday.

If he is appointed as successor to Stuart Lancaster, the Australian will become the 2003 World Cup winners' first foreign coach.

But what exactly are England getting; an attack-minded saviour or a dour administrator?

Jones is the head coach of South African Super Rugby side Stormers, but he has yet to take charge of a match having only agreed to join the club in September after coaching Japan at the World Cup.

His experience with Japan was his third Michael Bennett Womens Jersey taste of the global tournament after guiding Australia to the final in 2003, where they lost to England, and acting as technical director for South Africa in their 2007 tournament victory.
At the recent World Cup, Jones' Japan played some exciting, attacking rugby, most notably in their shock 34-32 victory over South Africa.

And Robertson feels this is representative of the way the 55-year-old likes his teams to play.

"He has patterns and ways of coaching and plays a good brand of rugby," said the BBC's Robertson. "He believes in the freedom of speech on the field - you have to score tries and play good rugby.

"He goes for the ball players and the creators, rather than the thud, bang, crash, wallop person."

Jones recently criticised the Six Nations for being "a dour affair" that is "built on the foundation of not allowing the opposition to score points".

However, Campese suggests Jones' playing http://www.seahawksofficialnflonline.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_RICHARD_SHERM... style and approach is far more conservative.

"You're going to find very structured play and he's going to have the players that do what he tells them to do. It is a robotic style," the ex-Australia skipper told BBC Radio 5 live.
