Eddie Jones addresses media after England's first win in six rugby tests.
England Rugby's chairman has praised Eddie Jones but refused to give "unconditional support" that the Australian would still be England's head coach at next year's World Cup.
The Rugby Football Union (RFU) will conduct a review of England's series defeat in South Africa where they lost the first two tests before rebounding to win the third at Cape Town last weekend.
England have lost five of their last six tests ahead of home games in November against the All Blacks and Springboks.

RFU chairman Andy Cosslett was asked by English rugby journalists if Jones still had his full backing.

"You're asking for unconditional support and only my children get that," Cosslett said in The Guardian.
"It's not something you give because you're under assessment the whole time. Last night's win was great and fantastic for everyone involved but you have to keep a sense of proportion."
Jones would be involved in a wide ranging tour review conducted by RFU chief executive Steve Brown.
"Steve will take a view about what he's heard or whether there are things we need to do differently," Cosslett said.
"We haven't had the review yet so we don't know what's going to come out of it. Eddie's take on the whole tour is going to be fascinating and we'll take it from there.
"It's a curate's egg. We're very pleased with Saturday's result but we keep a balanced view because we've had a disappointing run before that."
Cosslett was hopeful of an upturn once some key England players returned form injury.
"We've had a rough run of results, not least the players and the coaching team, and they've worked very hard to get out of it," Cosslett said. "We all recognise that sometimes you get in a rut and it looks like you're never going to get out of it. We have and that's really important.
"Eddie came to our union when it was at its lowest ebb after the World Cup, grabbed it and applied what we hoped he'd apply. He took us on an extraordinary run and has tremendous credit for what he's done. We're very grateful to him for what he did at a time when we needed it most."
