LONDON: England coach Eddie Jones has attacked the British media for the"rat poison" written when criticising Elliot Daly, while at the same time accepting that the player's form had not been up to par at the start of the Six Nations.
Asked immediately after that if Daly's confidence had been knocked, Jones launched an extraordinary assault on the UK media, where criticism of Daly and others had been widespread after the defeats by Scotland and Wales and a flat autumn series. "We try to spray all that rat poison that you try to put in and get it out of their head, so we are always working hard to keep it out of their heads. It keeps me busy mate."Jones said he had not had to spend much time on the issue with Daly, one of the classiest players in his squad and a regular centre in the club game.
Switching Daly to outside centre and adding Joe Marchant to join Ollie Lawrence on the bench means that Paolo Odogwu is still waiting for his first cap despite spending the entire championship in the squad.
