As Eddie Jones completed 57 years on Monday, England players handed him a non-slip bathroom mat as a gift for his birthday.

The gift was handed to the former Australian coach by England defence coach Paul Gustard in their training base in Surrey ahead of the Six Nations 2017.

Jones sported a facial wound during the launch of the Six Nations tournament in London last week and claimed that he had slipped in his bathroom on his exit from shower.

Ever since, Jones took over the coaching role from Stuart Lancaster, England have been on a 13-match unbeaten streak, which saw them climb to the second position in World Rugby Rankings.

England will begin their Six Nations title defence with a clash against France at Twickenham on 4th February.
