England's Slam chance in Ireland like a World Cup final - Jones

England coach Eddie Jones with his team

England’s crunch Six Nations clash against Ireland when they have the chance to complete back-to-back Grand Slams is like a Rugby World Cup final, says head coach Eddie Jones.

A 61-21 demolition of rivals Scotland at Twickenham on Saturday means England can secure consecutive Slams by beating the Irish in Dublin this weekend.

No team has managed to achieve such a feat since France in 1997 and 1998 (when the tournament had only five teams) and the scale of the achievement is not lost on head coach Jones.

“It’s great for us, a great opportunity and a great experience,” he said in an interview with Sky Sports. 

“You know, we’re building towards a World Cup and it’s like a World Cup final, it’s winner takes all.

“To have this experience is only positive for us.”

England are monitoring the fitness of winger Elliot Daly ahead of the trip to the Aviva Stadium.

Daly suffered concussion after a dangerous dump tackle from Fraser Brown, who was cited for the incident.

“Elliot is coming along well but you never know with these sort of things,” Jones added. “Every day he’s getting tested, every day he’s improving and we’re very hopeful he’ll play. 

“Aside from that we’re pretty good. We’ll still pick the squad as we normally do, if he’s not right we’ve got plenty of good replacements, outstanding replacements. 

“We want Elliot to be right, but if he’s not we move on.”

Jones also added that he expects British and Irish Lions coach Warren Gatland to be in attendance and told his players the best way to get on the plane to New Zealand is to impress against Ireland.

“I’m sure he’ll [Gatland] be there with a pint of Guinness enjoying himself,” he said. 

“The players know if they play well they’ll get picked. They have to play well for us to get picked, that’s all they need to worry about.”

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
