Ireland Captain’s Run – Twickenham Stadium
England rugby union coach Eddie Jones has apologised for offensive comments he made past year about Wales and Ireland.
The Australian was filmed during a talk on leadership for Fuso, the Japanese parent company of England sponsors Mitsubishi.
Ireland are now on 87.85 points - over six behind the world's number one team New Zealand, and 0.35 in front of England, who they face at Twickenham this weekend as they go in pursuit of only their third Grand Slam.
"We fully expect the game against Ireland to be a tough, yet exciting encounter, they are a unsafe side, who will be looking to bounce back after their defeat by Scotland last week".
"We will get that back, don't worry".
After the Dublin defeat, Jones conceded: "Our preparation wasn't as good as it should have been.we'll get it right next time".
"I'm delighted for him that he's going so good, and that he's in our squad, because he's already boosting the team".

English rugby coach Eddie Jones sorry for calling Irish 'scummy'
Very little is certain in sport but as Cheltenham week draws to an end there is one sure thing, this one is going to be a cracker. The big problem for England , though, is not what Jones says, or what Ireland can achieve, but whether they turn up or not.

The payment may have violated federal election law. "To be clear, the attempts to intimidate Ms. He backed it up by saying he's basing this belief on more than just a "hunch".
Jones subsequently apologised for his comments and admitted his choice of words were inexcusable, saying he was "very sorry".
Select your combined England-Ireland XV ahead of their Six Nations encounter at Twickenham Stadium on Saturday.
The Azzurri's opponents on Saturday are Scotland, who are involved in a four-way fight to secure second spot - a battle now being won by Wales, who can make sure of finishing as runners-up if they secure a maximum haul at home to France.
Jones' remarks were arguably far less incendiary than when the then England cricket captain Tony Greig, a native white South African brought up under apartheid, told the 1976 West Indies tourists he wanted to make them "grovel". So it's this little (expletive) place that has got three million people.
So save me from the Ireland v England biggest game ever stuff.
I don't think we would be uninspired by a three-nil victory, because we know what's at stake.
Should that happen and France and Scotland both win, or even if France suffer a narrow defeat, England, who have not been out of the top two in the last seven years, could finish outright fifth - their worst performance since 1983.
