Former Australia coach Eddie Jones stakes his claim for England job and praises former foe Clive Woodward in an interview with the Daily Telegraph's Mick Cleary.
"Jones says he believes there is enough coaching talent in England to enable him to pick an English forwards and backs coach but says it is vital that the squad undergoes a rebuilding process immediately to ensure they emerge as serious contenders in four years’ time.
“The first thing I would do if I was appointed is settle on a style that suits the strength of the players. England’s success has always been based on a strong set-piece. At the World Cup they had a strong scrum and line-out but you have got to be able to use that to the best effect.
“The second thing is getting the selection right. England need the right players to utilise their set-piece dominance and also the right characters to play the game for you. You have got to have some experience in your side. I would start bringing in the exciting young talent that currently exists in England straight away."
