Eddie Jones reveals the THREE key players for England

The Aussie says he is planning to refresh the playing squad as his attention turns towards the 2023 World Cup in France.

England finished in a disappointing 5th place in the Six Nations, winning two of their five games against Italy and France.

And even though the World Cup is still more than two years away, Jones says his focus has already turned towards it.

However, these three current stars seem set to be still playing a key role in two years time following significant praise from the boss.

Jones said: "I remember seeing him the first time playing for Sale, and it reminded me of the feelings I had when I watched a young George Smith in Sydney grade rugby. It's amazing he's still so young. He's going to be a special player."

Jones said: “Maro is one of the best players in the world and he plays the game on the edge. At the same time, there are areas of the game he needs to tidy up and he knows that. He’s a good boy, a good player. There are just a few things in his game he needs to tidy up.”
