Japan head coach Eddie Jones says that his former team, England, looked a lot like the Springboks in their victory over the Wallabies.<\/b><\/p>\n
Steve Borthwick\u2019s side convincingly defeated Australia 25-7 at the Allianz Stadium, with the replacements providing a real punch in the second half to inspire the victory.<\/p>\n
England<\/a> only led by three points at half-time as they struggled to get reward for their pressure and dominance, with Harry Potter\u2019s interception near his own tryline and subsequent try effectively being a 14-point swing.<\/p>\n England beat Australia to the punch<\/p>\n Appearing on the Rugby Unity<\/a> podcast, Jones<\/a> spoke highly of his former team\u2019s performance and likened it to the back-to-back World Cup winners, South Africa.<\/p>\n The Springboks<\/a> dominated Japan at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, bossing the gain-line and aerial duel in a comprehensive 61-7 victory over the Brave Blossoms.<\/p>\n England\u2019s dominance of the match meant that the Wallabies barely fired a shot at the Allianz Stadium in Twickenham.<\/p>\n \u201cEngland, I thought again, looked a bit like South Africa,\u201d Jones began.<\/p>\n \u201cThey beat Australia to the punch on nearly everything, breakdown, and tactically it was hard ever to see Australia getting any little advantage.<\/p>\n \u201cThere were two pieces of play where Allan Alaalatoa looked like he was going to throw the ball out of the back, took the ball to the line, the short ball to Valetini, who made a good line break and then went down the left-hand side. But apart from that, I can\u2019t recall any time that Australia really looked like threatening England.<\/p>\n \u201cEngland played their very contained, very structured, high-kicking game, and off the back of that attack, when they had the opportunity, and I thought England were very impressive. For Australia, it was a tough old afternoon.\u201d<\/p>\n Clive Woodward identifies the \u2018big area to work on\u2019 if England are to beat \u2018bottom dollar\u2019 All Blacks<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The monsters<\/p>\n Jones hailed the impact that England\u2019s bench had in the match and said that fatigue could not be used as an excuse for Australia, who came off the back of a six-week break and refreshed their team after beating Japan a week prior.<\/p>\n Instead, he says that the Wallabies were simply beaten up by England and the \u2018monsters\u2019 that they have on their bench, singling out the likes of Ellis Genge, Will Stuart, Tom Curry and Luke Cowan-Dickie in particular.<\/p>\n \u201cAustralia were freshened up for this game, six weeks since [many of them] played. So I don\u2019t think you can you can use fatigue as a reason,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cI think they just got physically beaten, and when you bring Curry, Genge \u2013 you see the size of him, he had to cut his shorts to fit into them \u2013 he looked like a monster, and he looked like he\u2019s brooding, and he was ready for it.<\/p>\n \u201cLuke Cowan-Dickie gets a turnover, who again at his best is an abrasive player, and Will Stuart weighs 125kgs and is a big monster of a man, and Pollock can do things that other players can\u2019t. They came on and raised the intensity of the game, and Australia struggled to stay with them.\u201d<\/p>\n
