LONDON (Reuters) - England rugby union coach Eddie Jones expressed sympathy for Claudio Ranieri on Friday after the Italian was sacked as Leicester City coach less than 300 days after leading them to the Premier League title.

Jones is riding the crest of a wave with his England side bidding to stretch their winning run to 17 games when they face Italy in the Six Nations on Sunday, but the Australian knows only too well that success can be short-lived.
