England have turned to drone technology for the first time to aid in their preparations in the training camp at their Surrey base.

Eddie Jones' men will lock horns with Argentina at Twickenham on Saturday in a bid to extend their winning streak to 13 and also with a target of remaining undefeated in 2016.

The drone machine was used for a live scrummaging session which was closely monitored by assistant coach Neal Hatley.

"The drone's fantastic for us. It's another piece of technology that just helps us accelerate the programme," head coach Jones said.

"It allows us to have another piece of vision that sees how well we work off the ball and in rugby work off the ball is just so important."
