England head coach Eddie Jones says his comments about player "distractions" were not a criticism of US Open tennis champion Emma Raducanu.
Jones referred to Raducanu, 18, when speaking on Sunday about the "flood of distractions" fly-half Marcus Smith could face after starring for England.
He also suggested the Briton had underperformed since her Grand Slam win, but his comments were criticised for being "uninformed and sexist".
Jones has since written to Raducanu.
"The whole point was how difficult it is for young players to cope with distractions," Jones, 61, told BBC Sport.
