Eddie jones says throw away nowell preserve suit a to the fore for England

Eddie Jones has ready remarkable claims that he may opening from meeting and his England side. Jack Nowell is additionally instantly seen as an opportunity for frankness flanker for the Six Nations as Jones considers ripping up the conventional playbook, predicting the coming out of a "new breed of player" similarly adroit as a mail and a back.

Jones explained his radical speculation afterleaving the injured Dylan Hartley out of his 35-man squad for England against Ireland on 2 February. Jones hoped to arrange his co-captain on hand for England's third counterpart against Wales three weeks later on but accepted the hooker's knee injury surgery.

owen farrell takes over the sole captaincy in Jones acknowledging issues with officials and tackling technique.

If Farrell's captaincy ruins a bring about in progress, nowell's conversion to flanker has not in spite of that started. choosing nine forwards would be an smooth other tremendous move, the complete the supplementary as a result eight months before the create of the globe Cup, but Jones explained how abruptly before the 2015 contest he pulled out the back-ranger Hendrik Tui on the wing for Japan against the Georgia "Played him as an particularly competitor off No9 ".He said: "There are excellent opportunities in the game to transformation it. in attendance is no dispute why you bottle not participate nine forwards. [The add-on forward] can shelf [at] blindside wing

"When Japan played Georgia we played nine forwards. No one knew It's like in football, 4-4-2 everybody old to comedy that
subsequently it became 5-3-2-1 or at all it was [5-3-2], hence nearby is no object in rugby why I am crucial that in attendance is as well a large amount orthodox. be exceedingly blameless at the central part clothes but glare at opportunities someplace you tin substitute it. "


Examples of players fruitfully assembly the transition from the backs to forwards, or vice-versa, are rare. tom youngs impressed out an England career as a hooker having earlier played at meeting place but Mauro Bergamasco's progress from flanker to scrum-half for Italy's 2002 Six Nations defeat by England was a glorious failure.

Nowell has won the entire of his 31 caps at also wing, full-back or center, but Jones said: "We gain not tried him out but he is absolutely an option. He has skillful ball-carrying, countless tackling skill; He puts his leader over the ball, he's a tough slight bloke. He is obtainable to be the new breed of player.

"The game has misrepresented The game second-hand to be 80 minutes, at this instant it is 100 minutes. The after that revolutionize is you are the players who be able to performance backs and forwards get something done you bring to mind pole Macqueen [Australia's humanity Cup-winning coach]? He second-hand to meeting about it It is going away to go off jack nowell is the one who stands out [Tom] Curry and [Sam] Underhill are the opposite. They can performance in a amount of positions. "

Hartley's nonattendance is tempered by the income of 223 caps' attraction of feel in Billy Vunipola, Mako Vunipola, Joe Launchbury and Dan Cole. Jones is hopeistic, that Hartley, who happening England's onwards two matches on the bench, will occupy yourself a few amount in the Six
Nations. "The at the outset fad is he has got healthy," supposed Jones. "Then he's got to follow fit

"At this stage, nicely be hopeful that torment be provide backing at slightest for the Wales game. It's hardly bear and tear He may sooner or later necessary an undertaking to good it up, but they're liability I'm sorry? they label passive rehab and we're assured he be supposed to be in shape to play. "


While Farrell will control England in Dublin, Jones will not make known whether he will onset at fly-half or benefit to inside-center and relight his 10-12 companionship with George Ford.

Farrell's shove to fly-half was a triumph but his tackling method was called in issue after controversial-arms hits on South Africa's André Esterhuizen and Australia's Izack Rodda unpunished.

This month, he conventional a golden license for a great tackle during Saracens' defeat by garage sale in a fit in which he had been called for his aggressive mode in selling with the referee. "It will be a continual labor in progress, for the reason that he's a competitor and he desires to holiday at them. but he will go on with to learn, "said Jones.

"We every single one dearth the game to be secure and to the genuine area. owen desires the matching fixation - he needs to strike fill with hard, now and then he has got a diminutive crumb wrong, but it is not intent and I am confident during the Six Nations he will point up in a authorized way. "
