After conceding a test after 65 seconds, the English "responded very well", welcomed the coach of the XV of the Rose Eddie Jones, Saturday, after the victory against France (23-20), in the Six Nations Tournament.

“We thought that France would attack hard from the start. They had time to prepare, they are coming to Twickenham, they were going to try to start with their feet to the ground.

Obviously, it didn't make us happy that they scored but we knew it could happen.

But the players responded very well.

They were able to stay calm, ”Jones explained.

Two consecutive victories against the France team

"When things are not going too well, it is sometimes difficult to stay focused, you can be distracted because he says to himself, because it is happening outside ... You have all that in mind but you have to stay focused and only think about what is important, ”added the Australian technician.

After being surprised by Scotland (11-6) then knocked out by Wales (40-24), the English beat Italy (41-18) without convincing.

Cruel !

Maro Itoje gives the English advantage in the last five minutes!

Thanks to the transformation of Owen Farrell, the XV of the Rose leads (23-20)!

The title holders can no longer hope to keep their crown but they have found color by dominating the Blues, who have not won at Twickenham in the Six Nations Tournament since 2005. “They are described as the best team in the world.

They have a quality team, with quality players and quality staff.

They are developing, they have a goal, the World-2023.

But us too, it's going to be a good race even if we are a little ahead of them, ”recalled Jones, who won the 2020 Tournament and then the Autumn Nations Cup, each time ahead of the Blues.
