Every public utterance from coach Eddie Jones is, of course, made with an eye on the media agenda so after the match he talked about how badly England had performed and how improvement would be necessary for next Saturday’s Melbourne test.

“I think he was outstanding, physically good, you know Pocock’s a special player but I think Haskell did some special things that gave us momentum”, he said. It is quite demeaning and disrespectful to the team, so we’re not going to let this opportunity pass’.
Jones, however, suspects the World Cup finalists might be playing mind games after casting doubt on the severity of the injury.
Hoiles’s crass line of questioning – “You’ve been in the press more than Donald Trump this week … you and Glen looked lubed up, how did you enjoy that moment up in the box?” – also seemed not to impress his compatriot Ella, who subsequently tweeted: “Swing Low Sweet Chariots”.
“The TMO didn’t want to give the decision. if he says asks if there is any reason I can’t award the try, it has to be clear. I’m not anxious about myself, I can handle myself”. Don’t worry about that.
“He knows how to talk to me to get the best out of me”.
The Wallabies and England play the second test at AAMI Park on Saturday night.
“David Campese has got to be somewhere”. He is coming for sure. “I can see next week something is going to happen”, added the 56-year-old, who took over as England coach after impressing with Japan at the 2015 World Cup. “Next week is super-important and we’re focused on that already”. That’s the only thing.
Australia raced to a 10-0 lead after a fast start and came home with a wet sail after being outmuscled by the tourists in the middle section of the Test.
England players celebrate their team’s victory. “I thought it was a pretty run-of-the-mill performance from the Australian back row, but I think we could be better”.
“If you want to be a victor in a game you can’t play in that zone where you’re happy for there to be a contest”.
“You’ve got guys like Dylan Hartley, James Haskell and Chris Robshaw and they’ve been through the mill”, Jones said.
The 28-year-old, who has earned over 56 global caps, will now miss the final two Tests as the Wallabies aim to turn round the early 1-0 deficit against Eddie Jones’ men.
“We’ve made history, but it’s not good enough for us”, he said. They want to keep winning’.
“We are enjoying preparing here and winning.is the only thing we are anxious about”. That is going to be in the record books.
“In that first half they took a couple of key turnovers when we were down in attack”, Fardy told reporters on Monday.
