HEAD coach Eddie Jones sought to draw a line today under his derogatory comments about Ireland and Wales as he performed radical surgery on the team for England’s final Six Nations match.

Jones was forced to apologise last night after footage emerged of the Australian referring to the newly crowned champions as the “scummy Irish” and Wales as a “little shit country” during a talk on leadership given last year.

Speaking publicly on the matter for the first time at England’s team announcement press conference today, Jones refused to expand on his remarks beyond issuing a further apology.
