The appointment of Eddie Jones as the England men's rugby union head coach in 2015 was significant because he was the first foreign-born individual to occupy this role. After sourcing 136 British newspaper articles published one week either side of Jones’ official announcement for his appointment on 20th November 2015, this study identified three overarching themes for how narratives of this event were framed: (a) negativity and the loss of national identity; (b) positivity and need for cultural change underscored with conditional acceptance; and (c) declinism with the need for succession planning. Bourdieu's concepts of field, habitus, embodied cultural and symbolic capital were drawn upon to theorise how much of the media initially rejected Jones’ appointment. The results indicated an overt and xenophobic ‘Little Englander’ narrative was first presented by some journalists based on Jones’ perceived Australian habitus and capital not reflecting the cultural values attached to English rugby union. Even when reports were positive, binary ‘one of our own/us’ and ‘outsider/them’ narratives represented symbolic violence through a malign ‘Little Englander’ attitude, albeit one that is a more covert form of discrimination than has previously been reported. Recommendations for continued analyses that acknowledge temporality within this discipline are finally presented.

埃迪·琼斯在 2015 年被任命为英格兰男子橄榄球联盟的主教练意义重大，因为他是第一个担任这一职务的外国出生的人。在获取了 136 篇英国报纸文章后，在琼斯于 2015 年 11 月 20 日正式宣布他的任命一周后，这项研究确定了关于如何构建这一事件的叙述的三个总体主题：(a) 消极性和民族认同的丧失；(b) 有条件接受强调文化变革的积极性和必要性；(c) 对继任计划的需求下降。布迪厄的场域、惯习、体现文化和象征资本的概念被用来推测最初有多少媒体拒绝琼斯的任命。结果表明，一些记者首先根据琼斯认为的澳大利亚习惯和资本并没有反映英国橄榄球联盟的文化价值观，提出了公开和仇外的“小英格兰人”叙述。即使报告是正面的，“我们自己/我们中的一个”和“局外人/他们”的二元叙述也通过一种恶毒的“小英格兰人”态度代表了象征性的暴力，尽管这是一种比以前报道的更隐蔽的歧视形式。最后提出了对承认该学科内的时间性的继续分析的建议。“我们自己/我们中的一个”和“局外人/他们”的二元叙事通过一种恶意的“小英格兰人”态度代表了象征性的暴力，尽管这是一种比以前报道的更隐蔽的歧视形式。最后提出了对承认该学科内的时间性的继续分析的建议。“我们自己/我们中的一个”和“局外人/他们”的二元叙事通过一种恶意的“小英格兰人”态度代表了象征性的暴力，尽管这是一种比以前报道的更隐蔽的歧视形式。最后提出了对承认该学科内的时间性的继续分析的建议。
