LONDON : Eddie Jones said he wants an"old fashioned England pack and a new fashioned England attack" and while there was uplifting evidence of the former in Saturday's 32-15 defeat by Ireland, fans are still waiting for any real evidence of the latter.

On Saturday, all England's points came from the boot of Marcus Smith after penalties usually earned at the scrum and ruck. England did score five tries against Italy, but that cannot be used as any sort of useful yardstick as everyone helps themselves to a bonus point against the hapless Italians. The continuing faith in Manu Tuilagi, despite his wretched injury record, means no other partnership has been able to really bed down. The latest combinations of Henry Slade alongside Elliot Daly or Joe Marchant has shown glimpses of promise without ever really developing a sustained attacking threat.
