Jones confirms England are doing everything they can to right the wrongs of Scotland defeat
Scotland rugby union players celebrate their victory of England last weekend

EDDIE JONES said today that England are "working round the clock" to address the shortcomings exposed by Saturday's Calcutta Cup defeat at Murrayfield.

Scotland dominated the breakdown and exploited a frailty in defence to complete a 25-13 victory that leaves England's NatWest Six Nations title defence on precarious ground with two rounds remaining.

Jones admits it took too long to adjust to the landscape of the match — by half-time they had been overrun 22-6 — but views the setback as a necessary part of the team's learning curve.
