(Reuters) - England coach Eddie Jones will see out the remaining two years of his contract while defence coach John Mitchell has extended his deal until after this year's World Cup, the Rugby Football Union (RFU) said on Thursday.
Jones' contract runs until 2021 with the original plan that he would mentor his successor for two years but British media reported the Australian could leave if England do not reach the latter stages of the World Cup in Japan.
