- England beat understrength France to win Autumn Nations Cup
- ‘I think you are being totally disrespectful to the players’
Eddie Jones lashed out at England’s “disrespectful” critics after they squeezed over the line to clinch the Autumn Nations Cup title, claiming he would not be in a job if his side sacrificed their win-at-all-costs policy for a more attractive but less successful style.
England needed a last-minute converted try from Luke Cowan‑Dickie to force extra time against a severely weakened France side before the captain, Owen Farrell, secured a sudden‑death 22-19 victory with a 96th‑minute penalty, having missed a straightforward kick earlier in extra‑time.
