(Reuters) - Eddie Jones, former Australia and Japan rugby coach, has emerged as a leading contender to take over the vacant England job, with bookmakers slashing his odds after Wallabies head coach Michael Cheika ruled himself out of the running.
Both the Times and Daily Telegraph reported a dramatic drop in Jones's odds of replacing Stuart Lancaster following several significant wagers in the 24-hour period since Cheika said on Monday that he was not interested in England as he was living the dream as "an Australian coaching Australia".
