Eddie Jones' summer plans up in the air

England boss Eddie Jones has hit another stumbling block with the prospect of his side facing the USA and Canada now looking unlikely.

A small series against the North American sides – planned to take place in the UK this summer – was on the cards, however, the notion now looks problematic as the USA are due to face the Springboks ahead of the latter’s series against the British & Irish Lions. It was planned that the USA would then travel to England but the UK government is insisting that they observe a 10-day isolation period, which is proving to be a very unattractive option.

It is rumoured that Georgia are possible replacements for the USA.
