Dai Young wants better cooperation between England and Aviva Premiership clubs

Wasps boss Dai Young insisted that the Aviva Premiership clubs and England national set-up must work closely with each other in order to be successful.

The 12 Aviva Premiership clubs are scheduled to meet England head coach Eddie Jones on Thursday and without doubt the recently conducted training camp in Brighton will be the centre stage of discussion.

Jones' high intensity training sessions coming from a weekend match was widely criticised by various Premiership Rugby coaches as most of their players who took part in the camp was unable to train aftermath. Wasps' Sam Jones and Bath's Anthony Watson were the latest causalities from the Brighton camp after they suffered ankle and jaw injuries respectively.

England wing Jack Nowell returned back to Exeter with a clean bill of health but a scan conducted by the club's medical team revealed a tear to his thigh muscle. Head coach Rob Baxter slammed the intensity at which the players were trained in the camp.

"England seemed to have loaded (Nowell) more than we would have done," Baxter, Exeter's director of rugby, said.

"More disappointingly, he was sent back to us with a report that they couldn't find any significant damage.

"When we scanned him, he had a 9-10 centimetre tear in his quad which will put him out for weeks."

Earlier, Saracens director Mark McCall warned the Premiership Rugby not to run after the money at the expense of clubs, referring to their latest agreement with the Rugby Football Union.

Young, who does not want to be involved in a blame game urged the concerned authorities to conduct a review and come up with a structured plan to avoid further misunderstandings. He also insisted that both England and the Aviva Premiership clubs must work together in a partnership of equals to avoid any damage.

"I don't think it's right to vent my frustration or disappointment about anything that went on through the media," Young said.

"But this cannot be England against the clubs. We cannot be against each other. We have to be together. There can't be a big brother in this relationship.

"They're not more important than us and we're not more important than them. We have to work together and that's the biggest message.

"The last thing we should do is create a wedge between the national set-up and the clubs.

"Accidents happen and I'm sure we'll review it and hopefully there will be things we can change and have a view on.

"We all want a strong national team and we all want strong Premiership teams. It's really important that we all keep working in the same direction.

"This may be a bump in the road, but I'm sure that we can pull together and get things right and move forward.

"We won't achieve what we want to do if we start going our separate ways. Nobody is stronger than each other, we have to be strong together so that we get the best for the clubs and the national team."
