England's Rugby Football Union chief executive Bill Sweeney has been told to do the "honourable thing" and resign by three former chairmen of the organisation.

Felix Jones remains part of the England coaching team with the former Ireland full-back working remotely on tactical analysis.
LONDON : RFU boss Bill Sweeney has defended the decision to rebrand Twickenham as the "Allianz Stadium" in a 10-year, 100 million pounds ($130.81 million) deal, saying the bigger question was why they did not do it earlier.
England head coach Steve Borthwick has the full backing of the Rugby Football Union after chief executive Bill Sweeney expressed his dismay at the shock exit of Felix Jones and Aled Walters.
