Eddie Jones insisted his England players are still responding to his methods despite a 32-18 mauling by Ireland that equalled their worst overall Guinness Six Nations performance.

Tries by Keith Earls and Jack Conan, accompanied by 22 points from Johnny Sexton, inflicted a third defeat of the competition and, to compound the fallen champions’ misery, they were bullied into submission at the Aviva Stadium.
