England's Rugby Football Union did not block Eddie Jones joining rivals for ‘legal and moral’ reasons
Given the length of his tenure as England head coach, Jones was subject to UK employment law which states that employees are entitled to one week’s notice per year served. In other words, after a seven-week notice period for his seven years in the job, Jones will be free to take the reins of the Wallabies.
An RFU spokesperson said: “When the RFU ended Eddie’s role as England head coach, having considered both the legal and moral perspectives, it was decided it would be unreasonable to restrict Eddie in seeking alternative employment.”
