If Eddie Jones thought life couldn’t get any worse than a grilling and bags check from customs officials when arriving back in his native Australia as England rugby coach, then he hadn’t banked on an hilarious and scathing new promo for the three-Test series between the 2016 Grand Slam champions and the Wallabies this month featuring double World Cup winners Tim Horan and Phil Kearns.

The former Wallabies alongside fellow ex-internationals Greg Martin and Rod Kafer kick off the Fox Sports production mocking Jones’ claims England’s summer tour Down Under would be a failure if they didn’t win the summer series.

They remind former Australian coach Jones, who led the Red Rose to a Six Nations Championship clean sweep this year, of past failures from previous England tours including their record 76-0 thumping in Brisbane in 1998 on Sir Clive Woodward’s watch, when Horan crossed for two tries.

The no-holds barred promo continues to mock English rugby pulling no punches the 2015 Rugby World Cup hosts of their dismal autumn failure when becoming the first home country in Webb Ellis Trophy history not to make the knockout stages.

And they go back to the 1991 World Cup final when Horan and Kearns were part of the successful Australian side that beat Will Carling’s England 12-6 at Twickenham.

They also weigh in to the great Sam Burgess debate following the handling of the Bath centre at last autumn’s World Cup shambles when the former Rugby League superstar announced he was heading back to the 13-a-side code soon after England’s exit at the hands of Australia.

“I just wonder what they’ll do when they get here with an ex-rugby league playing scapegoat,” sayd Horan, as a picture of Burgess with nanny goat beard and horns flashes up on the screen.

“What do we know about Ben Te’o?” asks Fox Sports’ Sean Maloney referring to the former Wests Tigers, Brisbane Broncos and South Sydney rugby league star who has been drafted in by Jones for the tour after impressing for Leinster this season in the Guinness Pro12.
