...Surprise omissions from last year's fiasco include Tom Youngs, Tom Wood and Geoff Parling, as Jones looks to bring in fresh blood to the squad.


Seven uncapped players have been named including: Josh Beaumont, Jack Clifford, Elliot Daly, Ollie Devoto, Sam Hill, Paul Hill, and Maro Itoje.


Jones said he hadn’t closed the door on any players who were omitted from the squad

 Whatever squad he picked Eddie Jones will bring something different to the England side.

He's had good gigs and bad gigs but he is a real coach. Their last two coaches were not real international coaches. 

It was the first coaching gig for Martin Johnson, and after him Stuart Lancaster had no real coaching CV apart from the England B team and he only got that gig because he was a company man of the (England) Rugby Union in a Rugby Director role.

There are a few here that don't like him much.

I was hoping he'd be approached for the vacant Bok position.

He did wonders for Japan and I rate him as a top class coach.

England are lucky to have him.

 ... the jury is still out on Jones as he only beat South Africa's B team remember...no great feat...he'd already given up on Japan and signalled his intention to abandon ship before that lucky win... can understand why a dopey sounding becs is unimpressed...could be that he's more interested in feathering his nest before retirement and who would turn down that sort of money ..


...the poms really need to win the 6 Nations otherwise they'll start looking sideways at Jones... and Wales will be no easy beats...Ireland have a few injuries to some key players but should also be competitive...


..who knows what the French will bring with their new coach and having had a big cull since the RWC ?
