Eddie Jones braced for fireworks

Eddie Jones has placed his players on standby to round up any loose cockerels at the Stade de France as England prepare for fun and games from opponents intent on denying them the Grand Slam.

The newly crowned RBS 6 Nations champions have been braced by their head coach for all eventualities during their warm-up when they face France in the eagerly awaited climax to the tournament in Paris.

“You never know if there is something we might not be ready for,” the Australian said.
