[QUOTE="bushytop, post: 948706, member: 56738"] So it came out last week that Eddie Jones has been a consultant for Japanese side Suntory Sungoliath for around 20 years and therefore for the entirety of his stint as England’s Head Coach... something the RFU took no issue with. It has now come out that as a result of that news story, Warren Gatland and the Welsh team management are furious. The reason being that last season representatives of the Sungoliaths approached the WRU about the possibility of spending some time with an elite Tier One Test Team environment for development purposes. The Wales management opened the doors to the Sungoliaths and let them in on two separate occasions for one week durations... one of which was during this recent 6 Nations. Hmmm... whether or not any of the information gleaned by the SunGoliaths was passed on to Jones or not, that is a pretty big conflict of interest, and the obvious observation I would make is... if this wasn’t at least even a little bit dodgy, why didn’t the Sungoliaths approach the RFU to spend time with the English set up, given their special relationship with Jones?
