England head coach Eddie Jones says he has no concerns about his position despite a fifth Test defeat in a row.

Following the series loss against South Africa on Saturday, the Rugby Football Union said they fully support Jones and his coaching staff.

The Australian, 58, will “stick to his guns” as he aims for a return to form.

“It’s about being loyal to your principles, and making sure you have good communication with your players,” Jones told BBC Sport.

“The reality is the things that made you successful will make you successful again.”

It’s understood Jones will have at least three games to arrest the side’s alarming run of results, with RFU sources pointing to his track record as England boss following back-to-back Six Nations titles and a record-equalling winning run.

England face the the Springboks in Cape Town on Saturday, before starting the autumn series with a re-match against South Africa at Twickenham and a showdown with world champions New Zealand.

“I’m not worried about [my future], I’m just worried about coaching the team well and making sure the team keeps improving,” Jones added.

“That’s my job and that’s what I love doing. I’ll keep doing it to the best of my ability.

“I don’t need to speak to [the RFU]. All I need to do is do my job properly. It’s not for me to make any decision on what happens, I just do my job properly.”

The England camp conducted clear-the-air talks on Monday morning after flying back to their base on the Durban coast.

“We had some great meetings with the players where they brought forward areas they think we need to improve in,” Jones said.
