I think he gets a bit of a hard time for that. I 100 percent think that there is a lack of appreciation for him.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Farrell was booed by England fans during the team announcements ahead of the Rugby World Cup quarter-final against Fiji two weeks ago, prompting a scathing riposte from England attack coach Richard Wigglesworth.<\/p>\n<p> \u2018We are lucky to have him,&#8217;\u00a0Wigglesworth, who played with Farrell at Saracens, said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;He has proven time and time and time again, and I don\u2019t understand why in England we feel the need to not celebrate that.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Farrell spoke glowingly of Jones when the Australian was sacked by the RFU last December after only five wins from 12 Tests in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Eddie had been a big part of England rugby for a long time and he has been one of the best coaches I have ever had so, for that, I\u2019m massively thankful,&#8217; he said.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/01\/11\/77266349-12697183-image-a-6_1698839183612.jpg\" height=\"424\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Jones revealed Farrell is far more emotional behind the scenes than his controlled public persona would suggest\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We are disappointed it\u2019s finished early. We owe a lot to him. I have been around for a while and not been around too many changes. It\u2019s not pleasant.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I don\u2019t think it\u2019s come from the players. There is obviously stuff we all want to improve in terms of results and as players you look at yourself.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>In January last year, Jones\u00a0endorsed Farrell as &#8216;the right guy&#8217; to lead England in the Six Nations despite being sidelined for the previous two months.<\/p>\n<p>But despite heaping praise on the Saracens star, Jones told Jordan that Dylan Hartley made for a better captain off the field during his England tenure.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Dylan Hartley was my first England captain because he was what the team needed at that time,&#8217; he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;They needed to come out of themselves because they\u2019d been through a tough period and they\u2019d turned into a very respectful and nice team.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;They needed Dylan to come in and give the team a bit of life, which he did.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Owen Farrell came in off the back of that and he was much more serious and tough. He was brilliant on the field, but off the field he wasn\u2019t quite as good as Dylan.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Jones, meanwhile,\u00a0<span>has been slammed for his language<\/span> after resigning as Australia head coach<span> less than 12 months into a five-year deal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/01\/11\/77266413-12697183-image-a-4_1698839092837.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Jones quit the Wallabies on Sunday, less than 12 months into a five-year deal\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On quitting the Wallabies\u00a0on Sunday, Jones told The Sydney\u00a0Morning Herald: \u2018I gave it a run.
