Eddie Jones has made a successful career out of unsettling people. Relentless, intense and at times brutal; his tirades are so cutting, those on the receiving end have said it is almost as if they are scripted and rehearsed.

He is the ultimate outsider who has come to dominate world rugby with his hyper-competitiveness, dogged determination and infamous takedowns. He has coached three national teams – Australia, Japan and England – and was a consultant to a fourth – South Africa – on its way to a World Cup victory in 2007.
