(Reuters) - Eddie Jones said he holds no grudges against England for sacking him as coach last year and the Australian is looking forward to returning to Twickenham on Sunday to take charge of the Barbarians against a World XV.

Jones was sacked by the Rugby Football Union in December after seven years in charge following a review of England's November series, with the team winning only five of their 12 tests under him in 2022.
