"There was no changing him." - Four people who should definitely avoid Eddie Jones new book

The England head coach reveals all about his key players – and one that got away – in extracts from his new book for The Telegraph.

Below, we take a look at four players, including Maro Itoje, who may want to dodge this one.

, the England boss made it perfectly clear that he was far than impressed by the 22-year-old's performances on the pitch and away from it.

In his new book Leadership

The Aussie said in his new book: “He’s [Lawrence] still a kid, only 21, but the way that some of the media raves about him you would think he’s already assured of becoming one of the best players in the world.

"He might do that, one day, but his attitude was not hungry or disciplined enough.”

Jones wrote: "There were lots of calls for him to be named as captain of the British and Irish Lions in South Africa in 2021. Alun Wyn Jones rightly got the job instead. That seemed sensible to me. I might be wrong, but I am not sure Maro is a future England captain. He is going to be one of the great players, but Maro is very inward looking.

"We’ve sent Maro to acting classes, which is having a beneficial effect. He speaks more influentially now, and I am hopeful he can develop more communication and leadership skills."

Jones wrote: ""I have long felt that all the talk around him has not been helpful – either to England or Marcus himself. Why was he so popular when he first came on the scene with Harlequins?

"He was a good-looking boy who had been to a big public school where rugby success was part of the culture. He had a Filipino background, so he also offered something a little bit different. There was a lot to like about him."

Jones wrote: "I feel regret when I see individuals fail to utilise their own huge talent. Danny Cipriani is the obvious example for me. I remember seeing him as a 22-year-old. He was unbelievable.

"He was gifted, fast, inventive and endlessly creative. But he lost focus. When I worked later with him it was too late to get him back on track. In 2018 he had already turned 30. The pattern had been set and there was no changing him."
