Aussie coach takes a swipe at England tactics

WALLABY coach Eddie Jones has had a dig at England’s rugby-playing style, calling it “Premier League soccer” tactics, ahead of their rugby showdown in Melbourne next Saturday.

Jones, who has had a feisty relationship with English counterpart Clive Woodward since taking charge of the World Cup champions nearly two years ago, yesterday had a shot at England’s style of play.

Fly-half Jonny Wilkinson kicked all of England’s points with four penalties and a drop-goal as England claimed their first win over the All Blacks in New Zealand for 30 years with a 15-13 triumph in Wellington on Saturday.
