Japan ban coach Jones for four matches after 'verbal abuse' of officials

Japan head coach Eddie Jones has been handed a six-week ban and had his salary docked for directing "verbal abuse" towards officials during an U23s' tour of Australia last month.

The 66-year-old former England boss, who is in his second spell with the Brave Blossoms, accepted the disciplinary decision of the Japanese Rugby Football Union and apologised for his "inappropriate" comments.
