Simon Easterby tells Ireland to ignore England coach Eddie Jones' jibes

"Someone like Eddie is going to throw things out there, throw some comments out there, and that's great," said Easterby.

Ireland must refuse to engage in Eddie Jones' phoney war ahead of Saturday's RBS 6 Nations clash at Twickenham, according to Simon Easterby.

New England boss Jones likened Ireland's approach to the tactics once employed by Premier League club Stoke City, claiming Joe Schmidt's men kick possession away "60 per cent of the time".
