Welcome back to a new series of A Load of BS on Sport with me Daniel Ross and my co-host Dan Biggar. This week, we bring you ex-England rugby coach Eddie Jones; a polarising and divisive figure, but loved by many players who worked under him. His sporting achievements are many, and he retains a huge appetite to do more; for example coaching a team in the Indian Premier League!
