DUBLIN: Anyone expecting England coach Eddie Jones to offer a grand gesture or an acceptance of the need for radical change was left disappointed on Saturday as he reacted to his side's thrashing against Ireland by saying:"We know where we're going."
It is the first time since 1976 that they have achieved a reverse triple crown of losing to Ireland, Scotland and Wales; they finished in their joint worst position since Italy joined the Six Nations in 2000 - matching the fifth place of 2018; while they conceded 14 penalties on Saturday, giving them a shocking total of 67 across their five games."We thought we started well. The first 20 minutes was a bit of nip and tuck.
Asked what needed to change to reverse the 2019 World Cup finalists' fortunes, Jones suggested not much. Asked if he felt he was still getting through to the players, the Australian said:"Most definitely. If I thought that was the issue I wouldn’t be coaching the team."
