Eddie Jones joked on Monday about joining Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta in a coaching forum which is 'like Alcoholics Anonymous', as he revealed that England will seek to emulate the fast-starting Premier League leaders in their autumn series.
After naming a 36-man squad notable for the absence of experienced Exeter centre Henry Slade, the Australian in charge of the national team set his stall out for the last November campaign of his tenure; with fixtures against Argentina, Japan, New Zealand and South Africa. He revealed that he has formed a bond with Arteta, the Arsenal manager, and has been sufficiently impressed by his work to take inspiration from the north London football club's effective formula.
