England staffJones takes tips from Brailsford and WengerEddie Jones has often picked players he calls apprentices in his squad, but until this week the England head coach had preferred experience in his management team.

Australian who took over as skills coach last autumn, said he would be unable to return for the Six Nations for family reasons, Jones wasted no time in naming Ed Robinson as his stand-in for the tournament.

Scotland on 6 February.
