Eddie Jones demands ‘greatness’ from England

Eddie Jones has demanded his England players achieve greatness by rising to the occasion on the weekend they could be crowned RBS 6 Nations champions with a round to spare.

England and Wales will collide at Twickenham today knowing the winner will almost certainly go on to seize the title held by Ireland for the past two years as France are hamstrung by a vastly inferior points difference Tournament glory is within the grasp of the Grand Slam-chasing Red Rose, who know that if Warren Gatland’s men are toppled and Scotland humble France 24 hours later they will win the championship.

It is amid this landscape of defining moments that Jones is urging his players to claim a piece of silverware that was last displayed at Twickenham five years ago.
