EDDIE JONES has dodged a Six Nations rap for his verbal ‘scum’ and ‘s***’ attack on Ireland and Wales.
Championship officials are less than impressed with Jones’ attack.
As the incident happened outside of the tournament window they have decided not to take any action.
But the England boss isn’t out of the woods yet following the revelations of his latests outburst.
The sport’s governing body, World Rugby, are aware of the situation but told SunSport they would not be commenting.
And on Thursday morning BBC Radio 5 Live dedicated a whole HOUR of their phone-in to the scum-gate saga.

One caller from South Wales branded Jones: “Disgraceful, disgusting, ignorant, appalling. It’s a step too far. He’s an idiot. Can you imagine Theresa May saying that? It wouldn’t go down well.”
Jones was being paid to give a talk on LEADERSHIP by Fuso – a Japanese truck company with close links to Red Rose sponsors Mitsubishi – when he dropped his latest clanger.

The 58-year-old said: “We’ve only lost one Test to the scummy Irish. I’m still dirty about that game, but we will get ’em back, don’t worry.”
And recalling a story about Japan’s youth team being hammered by Wales, he added: “Wales! Who knows Wales? Wales is this little s*** place that has got three million people.”
Jones was also named a brand ambassador for Mitsubishi in 2016.
The car giant pay the Australian boss thousands of pounds a year and would have never dreamt of publicity like this.
