Meeting with Eddie Jones was beneficial - Gareth Southgate

England football manager Gareth Southgate insisted that he was left impressed by England rugby union coach Eddie Jones after his visit to the training base in Surrey.

Southgate attended both the training sessions on Tuesday as the red rose squad were in full swing in their preparations for the Six Nations clash against Wales at Principality Stadium on Saturday.

England are currently in a 15-match winning streak, which is a national record and Southgate admitted he was impressed by the training methods employed by Jones and his backroom staffs.

"I think you're always looking for new ideas," Southgate told englandrugby.com.

"This is obviously a winning culture at the moment, so to immerse yourself in that, and see why it is happening, is really important.

"You go away with loads of ideas and things you want to implement. It is great to be alongside people who experience the same sort of scenarios you're in.

"There is a lot more set-play work, so the detail of individual coaching is very interesting for us because it is something we're looking at in football.

"Eddie is a vastly experienced coach. He has coached at international level for a long time, so to get an idea of his thoughts and observations around what we do - for a young coach like me - is fascinating to hear."
