Eddie Jones: Ref must watch ‘illegal’ Welsh scrum

England head coach Eddie Jones has accused Wales of scrummaging “terribly illegally” as the build-up to tomorrow’s RBS 6 Nations title showdown between the arch-rivals finally ignited.

Jones claims Warren Gatland’s men pre-engage at the scrum knowing that the referee will eventually tire of awarding penalties against them out of fear of being criticised for ruining the game.

Shortly before the Australian had offered his views unprompted, Wales forwards coach Robin McBryde declared that England prop Joe Marler “definitely needs to scrummage legally, otherwise we will be pointing the finger”.
