The 2019 World Cup finalists won two of their five games and finished 15 points behind France.
Speaking in the press conference after the match, Jones said questions about his future could be best dealt with by his employers, not him.


“That is not a question I need to answer, I just do my job,” said Jones.


“I’m disappointed. Disappointed for the fans, for the players. I obviously haven’t done a good enough job, I accept that, but we’re moving in the right direction.


“France are deserved champions of the Six Nations, they are the best team, but we had enough chances to win that game, we just didn’t put them away,” he added.

However, Jones is optimistic about the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France.


“We have got a lot of good young players coming through and some of the older guys are starting to play some really good rugby again, so we are going to have a good blend going through to the World Cup,” said Jones.
