Jones urges McHugh to get tough with England

AUSTRALIA coach Eddie Jones has called for Irish referee Dave McHugh to strictly police the breakdown and clamp down on any infringements in order to promote the fast, running rugby style he wants to play against England on Saturday.

Jones is anxious that scrum-half George Gregan be allowed access to quick, clean ball, but is acutely aware of England's tactics of slowing down possession retention in tackle and ruck situations.

Neil Back and Lawrence Dallaglio were both sin-binned for offences in that area during England's victory over New Zealand last weekend, a match littered with penalties.
