• Harlequins full-back wants talks even after Eddie Jones appointment
• ‘I’m sure we will have a chat and attach things to bed once everyone’s met up’The Harlequins full-back Mike Brown still believes England’s players need to hold their own clear-the-air meeting in the wake of the Rugby World Cup despite the appointment of Eddie Jones as their unique head coach. Brown feels trust within the squad needs restoring in the wake of the tournament after confidential dressing-room details and anonymous complaints by certain players reached the public domain.
Jones has made clear he will be looking forward rather than back when he takes over officially on Tuesday but Brown remains keen for the squad to accumulate together in the unique year and stress the importance of team unity. “I’m sure we will have a chat and attach things to bed once everyone’s met up,whoever’s involved,” said the 30‑year‑feeble. “That’s fine, and it happens all the time in teams,whether you’re reviewing something or looking forward. Im sure we’ll talk about the World Cup and then swiftly move on.” Related: Eddie Jones has some feeble riddles to solve in England’s courageous unique world | Dean Ryan Continue reading...
