[QUOTE="Raggs, post: 772988, member: 72268"] How exactly are the RFU going to guarantee Central Contracts to Jones? The PRL have already stated that they will not play centrally contracted players (from the RFU or any other Nation). They'll have told him that the EPS agreement is discussed very soon, and he can bash his head as much as he likes with their support then. The RFU already has control over rest and extra release of players with the EPS agreement, it's also far more flexible than a central contract would be with regards to a player no longer being wanted (or getting long term injury, better Leicester paying for Tuilagi than England). Overseas, again, not something the RFU can guarantee him a reverse in position of, but again, something he can try and amend the EPS for. He was stirring, selling clicks, exactly what a newspaper pundit should do. As for the Anthem, you are aware that the queen is the queen of Aus too? And Jones himself said that when he was at school he sung the anthem every morning. It's not the English national anthem anyway, it's the British national anthem (England doesn't have one), and as part of the commonwealth, and a subject of the queen (however archaic you may or may not believe that to be), there's nothing out of place for Jones to be singing God Save the Queen.
