Antonio Conte: Chelsea manager meets England rugby coach Eddie Jones

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has visited England's rugby union team to share ideas with head coach Eddie Jones.

Jones, 57, has won all 15 of his Tests since England's World Cup exit, and his side are on a 16-game winning streak.

Conte has similarly rejuvenated Chelsea during his first season in England, with the Blues eight points clear at the top of the Premier League.

"Eddie is a winner and he is transferring that mentality on to the team," Conte, 47, told England Rugby.

"It is important for me to compare my work and experience with another sport to gain inspiration and tactical ideas for the future.
