(Reuters) - Eddie Jones said he had a feeling he was going to be sacked as England head coach after his team's poor November series but he is keen to get back to work with another international side amid reports linking him with the Wallabies and the United States.

Jones was sacked by the Rugby Football Union earlier this month following a year in which England won only five of their 12 tests. He was replaced by former captain Steve Borthwick.
