England coach Eddie Jones wants his team to learn from the decline of Leicester City Football Club this season as they aim to continue the winning streak this year.

After winning the Premier League last season, Leicester City has been struggling in their title defence and are placed 15th in the table in 2016/17 season.

England are currently on a 14 match unbeaten streak, 13 under Jones and they registered victories in all the games played last year. Ahead of their title defence in 2017 Six Nations tournament, the former Australian coach wants his players to guard against any complacency to extend their good form in the coming season.

"If you look back at 2016, the two most winning teams in England in terms of complex team sports were Leicester City and England," Jones said.

"We went through the example of what's happened to Leicester and do we want that to happen to us and so what are the things that we need to ensure that it doesn't happen. The players were actively involved in it.

"We've come up with some strategies that we believe will help us overcome any complacency and any tendency to be comfortable and keep pushing forward."
