• Ireland bidding to clinch triple crown at Twickenham
• Jones: ‘They have players who aspire to be No 1 in Europe’
Eddie Jones believes Sunday’s “titanic clash” with Ireland will be a battle for European supremacy with England seeking to stay in the hunt for the Six Nations title.
Ireland are bidding to win the triple crown at Twickenham and while Wales won the grand slam last year, Jones sees Sunday’s match as a head to head between players seeking to establish themselves as the top dogs in Europe. “They have a number of players who aspire to be No 1 in Europe and we have a number of guys in our team who aspire to be No 1 in Europe,” said Jones. “I think that means it will be a bit of a titanic clash.”
