Gregan: England can bounce back under Jones

FORMER Australia captain George Gregan believes Eddie Jones possesses the leadership qualities required to revive England’s ailing fortunes.

Experienced coach Jones retained the backing of the Rugby Football Union ahead of the trip to his homeland and is tasked with ensuring his squad peak in time for next year’s World Cup.
