According to reports in England, the review is expected to take up to 10 days to complete and England’s players will also be given an opportunity to air their views.
Jones’ contract only expires after the 2023 World Cup, but there is a clause allowing the contract to be cancelled without an overly expensive pay-off.
The Australian was named as the Stormers’ head coach back in November 2015 after completing his World Cup duties with Japan. However, he infamously left the Cape team just eight days later to replace Stuart Lancaster as England head coach. The Stormers ended up appointing Robbie Fleck as their new head coach.
