"The spirit, the determination, the ability to work through problems were all absolutely outstanding. This pack is only going to get better and better. "We want to be an old-fashioned England pack and a new-fashioned England attack. We’re moving in a really solid progression towards that. You can see how much the players are enjoying it and how much they want to play for each other."Jones did have a gripe, though, that he wanted to get off his chest in the post-match press conference. It revolved around England's clear scrum dominance. [caption id="attachment_252642" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

"I'm a bit disappointed the referee didn’t allow us to scrum fully. That would be my only complaint. "We weren’t allowed to play advantage away from the scrum. We got four scrum penalties and there was no sign of a yellow card. "We want to have a powerful scrum and if World Rugby want to have the scrum in the game, they have got to allow the strong scrums to dominate. We’re disappointed we didn’t get more out of that."It was a valid complaint, too, from Eddie Jones. Ireland supporters may have cribbed about the legality of the England front row's scrummaging actions, but Raynal had clearly decided they were on top. At no stage did the French referee look close to sin-binning an Irish forward. Up next for England will be a fearsome front row unit [and the rest] as they take on France in Paris.
