England head coach Eddie Jones will be asked to emulate the Rugby Football Union’s executive team by taking a pay cut in excess of 25 per cent.

The RFU is facing revenue losses in the region of PS45-50 million ($A90 million) over the next 18 months as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

The PA news agency described Jones as the highest paid coach in international rugby, earning in the region of PS750,000 ($A1.5 million) per year.

The 60-year-old’s current deal expires in July 2021 and as yet there has been no move to extend his contract until the next World Cup in 2023.

RFU chief executive Bill Sweeney and his fellow executives have already indicated they will be taking significant pay cuts.
