Did he slip in the shower, or did he try and take the captaincy away from Dylan Hartley?
Whatever the reason, Eddie Jones turned up to Wednesday’s Six Nations launch looking like this.

Ouch is right.
The England coach is understood to have slipped in the shower, but given the abrasive Aussie’s reputation for rubbing folk up the wrong way, there were many, many theories as to how Jones REALLY got his black eye.
Poor Eddie Jones. Imagine having a shower that punches you in the face after you've slipped.

Could the Ireland captain and his pointy elbows be responsible?
Is it just me or does Rory Best have abnormally pointy elbows!? #RBS6Nations https://t.co/4VMHwcQsRf
