The Bath and England star impressed at both fullback and on the wing, keeping the likes of George North out of the Test team. Jones says he finished the tour as one of the best wingers on show.
“Anthony Watson was the standout.” Jones said.
“He went there as a borderline starting member, and finished as one of the best wingers on the tour.”
“He took a massive step forward.”
