Eddie Jones drops conspiracy hint

Hindsight is a wonderful thing but to think that Peter O’Mahony was not meant to start against England now seems faintly ridiculous.

So ridiculous, in fact, that England head coach Eddie Jones hinted at a conspiracy.

Was the late change to Ireland’s starting back row, named by his opposite number Joe Schmidt last Thursday and explained by a pre-match hamstring injury to No.8 Jamie Heaslip, pre-planned, he was asked?
