Eddie Jones will shape England's approach to next year's World Cup inspired by the level of planning that went into the climatic stage of the Navy SEALs' hunt for Osama bin Laden.

Earlier this month Jones spent two days with the US Navy's elite fighting force at their base in San Diego where he learnt how they dealt with an immediate setback in the 2011 mission named 'Operation Neptune Spear', which ended with the Al-Qaeda leader being killed.
