Has Eddie Jones made first England error?

Rugby World Cup winners Matt Dawson and Paul Grayson debate whether Eddie Jones has made his first mistake as England head coach.

Jones' decision to hold a full-on three-day training camp between Premiership matches has been heavily criticised after three players suffered serious injuries.

"He has probably thought, it has all been sweetness and light for nine matches, we have gone down to Australia and won 3-0, I may have slightly overstepped the mark and got carried away with some of the training," Dawson said.

Premiership Rugby says a meeting on Thursday between Jones and the club coaches was "very amicable and constructive鈥.

Moving forward Grayson believes Jones may have to alter his training methods given the amount of games for players in the Northern Hemisphere.
