England beat Wales twice in one day

“He might get back for Ireland”.

Rob Howley’s men travel to Edinburgh to take on Scotland in two weeks time. In the first half they had nearly a flawless attack and kept the possession for long periods of time and it was hard get the ball off them.

“The boy’s got gas and he’s got that X-factor about him and that’s what we like him”, Jones said.

“We were a bit more clinical, or tried to be, at times, we tried to be smarter and use the ball more. Unfortunately, we fell short”. “We will be looking to do the same again and are forging a reputation as a scrummaging unit”. “There are still things for us to work on but we are now beginning to see our potential as a team”. “We are not smashing over the gain line and getting that quick ball”.

Wales also revealed on Friday they plan to speak to the referee, Jérôme Garcès, to discuss the scrum and other issues.

The biggest game of the round and it lived up to the expectations.

The key moment came just after Wales had held England up on their own line and forced a turnover.

ENGLAND extended their winning run to 16 Tests as wing Elliot Daly’s late try clinched a dramatic 21-16 RBS 6 Nations victory over Wales in Cardiff.

Jones’ remarkable run in charge of England also includes wins over South Africa, Argentina and Australia in the Autumn Internationals late previous year.

ENGLAND head coach Eddie Jones says he will “experiment” with both the style and make-up of his side against Italy, but insists that is not a sign of under-estimating the struggling Azzurri.

Asked about North’s chances, Wales assistant coach Robin McBryde said: “I can’t go into 50-50s or 60-40s, or whatever”.

Two late penalties from Camille Lopez allowed France to pick up their first win of the 2017 Six Nations in a bruising encounter at the Stade de France and end Scotland’s hopes of fashioning their first victory on French shores since 1999.

“We were disappointed with how we played against France because we wanted to start the tournament with a bang. He did really well for us”. “We are not happy being the best team in Europe, we want to be the best team in the world”.

Coach Eddie Jones picked Maro Itoje, Jack Clifford and Nathan Hughes as the loose-forward trio, who have made just four global starts in the back row.

“There is a difference being on the bench and starting, a bit more responsibility and stuff. We are playing our neighbours: the English-Welsh rivalry is about wanting to get the better of your neighbour, simple as that”.

Robin Mc Bryde has admitted Wales are giving George North and Dan Biggar as long as possible to recover from injury
