England coach Eddie Jones is claiming someone has been spying on his team's training.

Ahead of Saturday night's Rugby World Cup semi-final against the All Blacks, Jones claims someone was filming his side train from an adjacent apartment block overlooking their training ground.

Jones made the accusations in England's media conference on Tuesday.


His dramatic claims have sparked the build-up to the semi-final into overdrive.

The training took place at Arcs Urayasu Park in Tokyo.

Jones said it was obvious from the start of the training session that someone was filming then from the building.

"There was definitely someone in the apartment block [across from the training ground] filming, it might have been a Japanese fan," Jones said. "We knew from the start that they were filming and it doesn't change anything we do."

"Don't care, mate. Don't care," Jones said of his decision to not try and stop the filming.

"We have two security guards - Prince Harry's … and the ex-Prime Minister's. Only those two. Lovely blokes."

Earlier this year, Jones admitted to spying on rival teams in the past but claimed he hadn't done it since 2001 because it's not worth the trouble.

"Everyone knows what everyone else does. There's no surprises in world rugby anymore," Jones said at Tuesday's explosive post-conference.

"We used to do it [secretly film opposition training sessions]. I haven't done it since 2001. There's no need."

Jones had also hit out at the New Zealand media claiming its rugby reporters are just "just fans with keyboards".

He said all the heat was on the All Blacks - the World Cup favourites - ahead of the semi-final and claimed the pressure will be chasing New Zealand "down the street".

So if he don’t care don’t care................why mention it? The insinuation is there............as if the ABS need to know what goes on in their training............ There’s no more heat on the ABS than on the Poms............the ABS don’t have to prove anything.......they’ve already won 3 cups.............the Poms want to erase their shit showing from the last WC.......so the pressure is on them to make it through to the finals...... Typical paranoid aussies..........get over yourself.....idiot

A lot of discussion about nothing.  There is no need for this type of contributions about what Jones actually intended,  It was primarily to get a war of words between the two coaches going that would all be detrimental hopefully to the All Blacks.

Hansen just said in an article I posted that he knows it is a technique of Jones and that he is no going to comment on what Jones said,

In common terms the whole thing was is call ed psychological warfare and neither of the parties can use it - Hansen said on his part about the upcoming test against England - "It will be a mighty clash, but I think South Africa will always be our biggest rival - because of the history that comes with it," Hansen said Tuesday following the 46-14 rout of Ireland at the weekend."

No comment on that one from any site member,   However, one must remember psychological warfare is a part of sport and has been for many centuries or even of the ancient Greek Olympic Games
