- England 41-18 Italy
- Watson crosses twice after poor start by home side
After England had been knocked out of the 2015 World Cup Eddie Jones, who was then in his final week in charge of Japan before joining the Stormers in South Africa, was asked what they should be looking for in a head coach. Experience was his reply, something that was vital to combat the pressure applied by the media, both traditional and social.
Jones was given a flood of advice after the defeat to Scotland last Saturday, but he sailed serenely through it all, neither dropping his captain, Owen Farrell, nor giving fringe members of his squad an outing against the weakest team in the tournament.
