    England rugby coach Eddie Jones is self-isolating for 10 days after his assistant Matt Proudfoot tested positive for Covid-19


    Jones is not displaying any symptoms.

    If he returns a negative at the next round of testing, he will join up with the squad next Thursday for the first time before the Six Nations.

    The tournament starts February 6, when England play Scotland at Twickenham.

    Of Jones' front-line staff, only defence coach John Mitchell is not currently impacted by the situation.
