'We're not a team humming along like a big V8 revving down the highway... we have always got problems'

England escaped the Friday morning London fog in search of their seventh successive win when they take on struggling Wales in Llanelli in their final Autumn Nations Cup pool game – but they headed off down the motorway for Saturday’s game with a reminder from Eddie Jones that they are not perfect.

The 2020 Six Nations champions are looking to add the new Nations Cup to the RFU trophy cabinet when they likely host France in London in next weekend’s final. But the all-seeing Jones is on their case to ensure there is no room for complacency in a match versus the Welsh that England are tipped to win comfortably.

“There are always problems,” he said ahead of the only away game England will play in their four-match Nations Cup campaign. “I have never known a team not to have problems and a good team is always looking for problems, looking for how they solve problems.

“There were things at training Wednesday we need to tidy up in terms of our defence that we are looking at. There are some technical issues but they are always surrounded by attitudinal issues and we have always got them. We have never not got them.

“It’s like going from the semi-final of the World Cup. You play a game with everyone saying you’re fantastic but you’re not fantastic as we found out in the World Cup final and we’re taking that approach to this game. We’re not fantastic, we know we have got to improve, we know we have got to get better, we know we have got to play with more intensity.

“You’re never (fully) on it… we were on it for maybe 60 minutes of the Ireland game but not for 80 minutes. You always have to look at how you can tidy it up. We have got a lot of problems here. We are sorting out problems every day. We are sorting out problems today.

“There is always a problem there. We’re not a team that is humming along and is like a big V8 that is revving down the highway. We have always got problems and we are always trying to fix those problems.

“Wales have been sitting around all week with people talking about England and the challenge we will bring. They have been prodded and been told their coach is under pressure. There will be a lot of desire and intent. Just look at their team, it’s a strong team. They have got good players all across the park so we can’t underestimate them.”

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.
