Saracens director of coaching Eddie Jones has revealed his ambition to coach South Africa.

Jones, who guided Australia to the 2003 World Cup final and served as technical advisor to Jake White's 2007 World Cup-winning Springboks side, said he would relish a shot at South Africa's helm one day.

"The honour to coach the Boks is a big one, but I'll definitely consider it if and when the time is right," he told The Citizen. At the moment I am in a three-year deal with Saracens but it definitely is something worth considering.

"I have coached the (Australia) national team, the Brumbies and the Reds. And I won't be interested in coaching the Waratahs or the Force. With only four regions in Australia the coaching possibilities are limited."
