Last week, Eddie Jones compared the kicking style of rugby employed by Ireland to Aussie Rules, noting that if his side can win the aerial battle, they will have stand a great chance of winning at Twickenham this weekend.
We've got to win the Aussie Rules contest.
That is the first thing we have got to do. They kick 60pc of their possession. If we can win that Aussie Rules battle, we will go a long way to winning the game.
Last week, according to Jones, Ireland kick away 60 per cent of possession. This week, the number has risen to 70.
The Aussie also added his dislike for Ireland's style.
They kick 70 per cent of their ball away. If they want to do that, good luck to them. It has worked for them. It is not the way I think you should play rugby but it has been successful for them, so good luck.
To be fair, last week Jones did call Ireland 'one of the best-coached sides in world rugby', it's just the coach's methods in winning the previous two Six Nations titles that he does not agree with.
