Visit to Newlands will complete Eddie Jones' cross-country fact-finding mission in South Africa

A visit to Newlands on Thursday will complete Eddie Jones’ cross-country fact-finding mission in South Africa.

The England coach has already visited Johannesburg, Durban and Bloemfontein this week, and is now in Cape Town as he continues to familiarise himself with conditions ahead of the three-Test series against the Springboks in June.

At a time when Jones is gathering intelligence in South Africa, SA Rugby is still yet to confirm what the Boks’ coaching structures will look like for 2018.
