Jones Warns New Zealand Will Play Hard at Twickenham

England beat Japan 78-15. Will Joseph scored five tries. Former England head coach Eddie Jones praised his former team as “very good.”

Jones warned that New Zealand will be “physical” at Twickenham next week. New Zealand lost 35-28 to Wales in Cardiff, their first defeat to Wales since 1953. A win would have put them top of the World Rugby rankings and moved them to the top of the Nations Championship southern hemisphere table.

Jones reminded everyone that he had given Joseph his first international cap. Half-jokingly, he described Joseph scoring five against him as disloyalty. It was noted that England head coach Steve Borthwick has a lot to consider in his squad selection.
