Eddie Jones is in no immediate danger of being sacked as England coach despite his tenure reaching a new low after suffering a fifth straight Test defeat.
England lost 23-12 to South Africa to surrender the three-game series in Bloemfontein Saturday with the final match to come in Cape Town this weekend, where another defeat would signal the side's worst run of form since 2006.
"There is no magic solution here," Jones told reporters in Bloemfontein. "We've got 25 [players] sitting at home who aren't available for selection. These [the touring party] are the best players we've got.
"I haven't had too many times when I have experienced this and it's tough. My job is to make the team win and it's not winning."
Jones, who is contracted through until 2021, feels that the situation is not as dire as results suggest and that the team is not far off where they should be.
"I am doing as well as I can. In these sorts of situations you get a lot of advice, there is a lot of things wrong. But we are only two or three percent away from turning this around."
The Rugby Football Union (RFU) issued a nine word statement in support of Jones following the team's latest news, reading: "The RFU supports Eddie Jones and his coaching team." However, he is in danger of slipping towards a similar record that he had when he was sacked as coach of Australia in December 2005. He had lost eight of his last nine Tests with a side that was also beset by injury -- one of the key factors Jones has blamed for England's collapse in South Africa.
After this tour, England will come up against the Springboks once more in the first of their home autumn internationals at Twickenham in November, followed a week later by world champions New Zealand and then Jones' former employers Japan.
