- England coach highlights Portugal footballer’s work ethic
- Jones wants to unearth players for the 2023 World Cup
Eddie Jones has held Cristiano Ronaldo up as the example to follow for England’s bright young things as the head coach sets about unearthing players capable of taking leading roles at the 2023 World Cup.
Jones has selected 22 uncapped players in a provisional squad for this summer’s fixtures with training getting under way this week in Teddington. Players from the four Premiership semi-finalists are still to be added before the Tests against USA and Canada, but with 12 senior stars away with the British & Irish Lions – and several more rested – Jones is ready to give a number of youngsters their shot.
