Eddie Jones says England are working exhaustively to come up with solutions

England head coach Eddie Jones insists England are exhaustively working to come up with solutions following shocking defeat against Scotland in Saturday's Calcutta Cup clash.

Scotland dominated the breakdown and exploited a frailty in defence to seal 25-13 win leaving England's hopes of defending their Six Nations title in uncertainty with two rounds remaining.

Jones believes his side has learnt a harsh lesson from their defeat at Murrayfield and would like to avoid such experiences in future. He also admitted that it took too long for his side to adjust to the landscape of the match.

“We’ve done an exhaustive investigation into finding out what wasn’t right and there are some things that we’ve found we could have done better,” Jones said.

“We’ve been coming up with solutions to those over the last couple of days. We had a really good meeting yesterday (Tuesday).

“Learning to fix it on the hop is the next step. It’s very easy to talk about leadership and how to change things, but it’s harder to do.

“After 20 minutes it would have been ideal if we’d have reacted quicker, but we didn’t and it took us until half-time.

“But that’s the progression of the team and unless you have these sort of lessons you don’t learn from them and we’ve learnt a lot.

“It’s a harsh lesson and a lesson we don’t want to have again but the likelihood is we could well have it.

“It took New Zealand eight years to learn how to fix things on the field. We’re trying to do it in four, so everything’s a bit more difficult for us.

“The only way to accelerate the process is not to sleep. That’s the only way. It’s not easy. We’re working round the clock to fix it. And we’ll get there but we’re going to have these sorts of situations.”
