James Haskell heaps praise on England coach Eddie Jones

England flanker James Haskell has heaped praise on coach Eddie Jones after his team's historic 28-39 victory against Australia in the first Test in Brisbane on Saturday.

Haskell stepped-up at the Suncorp Stadium and was instrumental in England's victory as he made 18 tackles, three turnovers and a couple of stunning clearances with one of them paving way for Marland Yarde's try.

Haskell also implicated England's aggressive approach on the field with his bone-jarring hit on David Pocock that set the tone for Jones' men early in the game.

The 31-year-old stated that Jones has given a clear definition of roles to the players and knows how to get the best out of them.

"Eddie treats the boys very fairly and understands that in professional sport you have to talk to people in different ways," Haskell said.

"He knows how to talk to me to get the best out of me. He's given me an opportunity and I'm really aware there are so many good players in our squad.

"He's empowered me and now I have a role in the team. He knows how to get the best out of people and knows that some people need the carrot and others the stick. I'm more of a carrot man."

The victory in Brisbane puts England in a brink of a maiden Test series victory down under when they take the field for the second Test in Melbourne but Haskell believes Australia will come back hard at them.

"We made history because we've never won here," the Wasps captain said.

"We were being heckled from the moment we got here which is always quite fun. You know when you're in Australia because you get a lot of banter.

"It was just important to get the victory and continue the good work we did in the Six Nations.

"It was important that we can prove we can live with these teams, but next weekend is another test.

"Australia were great in patches and are a very dangerous side. They will regroup after this and the second Test will be another massive physical challenge and big occasion."

The second game of the three-match series will be played on 18th June at the AAMI Park in Melbourne.
