Jones plans wholesale changes after England surrender Six Nations title with a whimper

EDDIE JONES is ready to make changes in response to the alarming power deficit exposed by the surrender of England’s Six Nations title to Ireland on Saturday.

For a second successive match the fallen champions were overrun at the breakdown as France sealed a 22-16 victory in Paris that has swept the trophy from Twickenham to Dublin with a round to spare.

England will be condemned to their worst Six Nations performance since 2006 and could finish as low as fifth if they fail to prevent Ireland from completing the Grand Slam, leaving only a week to rectify the shortcomings evident against Scotland and France.
