Eddie Jones planning to foster winning culture at England

Eddie Jones plans to lift England out of the lower tier of European rugby by reversing a culture where players have been happy to collect caps rather than honours.

England have won only one Six Nations crown since 2003 while Wales, Ireland and France have shared out the rest, leaving England in the bottom tier.

On a day when he announced Northampton’s Dylan Hartley as his new captain, Jones revealed his belief that in the past England’s players have seen international selection as their main ambition — at the cost of their success.
