Eddie Jones is open to experimentation in the build-up to next year's World Cup, starting against Michael Cheika's Argentina at Twickenham
“Every game is dangerous,” Jones said, in the realisation he needed to talk up the contest. “New Zealand went to Japan [last weekend] and they thought they would eat nice sushi, drink sake and have a nice runaround on the national stadium – and they nearly came unstuck. There is a bit of a downer about rugby, particularly in this country, but you look at the state of world rugby and the potential upsets there are, it is fantastic.
Jones theorises that the game has become more “patterned”, so the effort made by players off the ball is more important than ever, to change angles in multi-phase attack and snuff out the opposition as quickly as possible in defence. Sam Simmonds and Jack Willis in a six-two split on the England bench add to these options later on.12. Owen Farrell 3. Kyle Sinckler 16. Jack Singleton 22.
“Manu has certain qualities that no other centre in England has got,” Jones said. “If he can create quick ball in that centre-field, it’s about the ability of the 10 and 12 to play off that. It should be fun to watch.”
