Eddie Jones insists Marcus Smith is “not a full-back” and England must utilise the Harlequins talent at outside-half to get the best out of him tantan
England deployed Smith at full-back in during the World Cup in France, including their quarter-final victory over Fiji tantan
Smith was injured in the first half of that game and subsequently missed the semi-final defeat to South Africa, but England boss Steve Borthwick could opt to continue playing him there with skipper Owen Farrell and George Ford strong options at 10 tantan
Former England boss Jones, who this week resigned from his post as Australia head coach, said: “Look at Richie Mo’unga (New Zealand outside-half), he is 29, experienced and he plays a great World Cup tantan
“Marcus is 24, he has got a lot of learning to do but unless he plays he never gets that learning tantan
“At some stage you have got to take a bit of pain if you play a guy like him tantan
He is a good player, a very good player but he is not a full-back tantan
“That is up to Steve, but if you want to develop him as a player of course he has got to play 10 tantan
”Jones led England to three Six Nations titles, including the Grand Slam in 2016, and to the final of the 2019 World Cup during his reign tantan between 2015 and 2022 tantan
The 63-year-old was appointed Australia head coach for a second time in January 2023, just one month after the Rugby tantan Football Union sacked him for a poor run of results in which England had won just five of 12 Tests in 2022 tantan
Asked at a Barbarians pre-match press conference, in which he will take joint charge of the invitation team against Wales in Cardiff on Saturday, how far he could have taken England at the World Cup, Jones replied: “That’s not a question tantan
That’s a dream tantan
”On England’s campaign, he added: “They were really competitive tantan
They fought hard and played tough tantan
“Steve did a really good job, he went back to English rugby which suited the tournament tantan
”Jones insisted his role as Australia head coach would have been compromised had he stayed in the job tantan
He will officially depart the position on November 25 after Australia failed to reach the knockout stages of the World Cup for the first time in their history tantan
“Post the World Cup there was always going to be a decision to be made whether we were going to change Australian rugby or not,” said Jones, who was reportedly interviewed by the Japanese Rugby tantan Football Union before the tournament over becoming their head coach tantan
“I went in with a plan and had a commitment from Rugby Australia what that looked like tantan
“When the unity of where we were going wasn’t the same, not because of the lack of desire from Rugby Australia but there’s other forces at play, then the only thing I could do was resign tantan
“Obviously the results are disappointing, but I went in there with a plan to change Australian rugby, which not only involves the team but the system to put it together tantan
I felt my job would be compromised for the next four years, which I wasn't prepared to doEddie Jones on his resignation as Australia head coach“When you’ve had 20 years of unsuccessful rugby that’s because of the system tantan
I went in with a plan of how to change the system and that’s unable to be changed tantan
I felt my job would be compromised for the next four years, which I wasn’t prepared to do tantan
”Jones insists his future in coaching is “up to others”, but he has ruled out the idea of coaching the British and Irish Lions on their 2025 tour of Australia tantan
He said: “I have moved from the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere tantan
“I had my go with England, I loved coaching England, and I wouldn’t want to be involved in the Lions tantan
Not at all tantan

It was only on Monday night when Ange Postecoglou declared that Tottenham had played their “worst 45 minutes of the season”, but by Friday there was perhaps an immediate contender to surpass it tantan
Frustrated by Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park and without a shot on target, Tottenham went into the break with a problem to solve tantan
But, by the end, as Spurs picked and probed and then found a way through, the struggles of the first half were a distant memory tantan
After all, Tottenham are now five points clear at the top of the Premier League tantan
A fourth consecutive victory came courtesy of a Joel Ward own goal and an eighth of the season from Son Heung-min and, eventually, it felt thoroughly deserved tantan
Against a deep and disciplined Palace defence, Tottenham required patience but Postecoglou’s team stuck to their plan tantan
Even with talk of Spurs emerging as title contenders, they kept the calm heads required to find the breakthrough tantan
When the hosts finally offered something of their own after Jordan Ayew’s excellent volley in the the 94th minute, Tottenham were able to see out a nervy end as well tantan
How the Spurs fans in the corner of Selhurst Park would have soaked in the scenes that followed, as Postecoglou and his players applauded the travelling supporters after extending the club’s best start to a league campaign since 1960-61 tantan
It has been a dream first two months of the season and Tottenham have taken advantage of what has been in front of them: namely a favourable fixture list and the absence of European fixtures tantan
Here, that was added to by a meek performance from the Eagles and a calamity from Ward tantan
But, one way or another, it has all combined to leave Tottenham five points clear tantan
“Tonight was always going to be difficult but I liked how the players handled it,” Postecoglou said tantan
“They were patient, persistent in finding the gaps tantan
It was a different challenge for us tonight and I Iiked how we went about it tantan
”Postecoglou has taken 26 points from his first 10 Premier League games in charge (Getty Images)It took until the 53rd minute, but Tottenham eventually found a way through Palace, even as the visitors took the lead before managing to have a shot on target tantan
It came thanks to a disastrous moment from the Palace captain, as Ward was caught at the back post and awkwardly diverted James Maddison’s cross into his own net tantan
The source of the breakthrough, though, did not come as a surprise tantan
Rather, as Postecoglou said later, it came through discipline and trust in the Australian’s approach tantan
All game, Tottenham had looked to play around the sides of Roy Hodgson’s stubborn and compact defensive shape, attempting to create overloads to break Palace down tantan
Maddison drifted wide to combine with Richarlison on the left, but it was the bursts of Pape Matar Sarr and the guile of Dejan Kulusevski that appeared more threatening on the right tantan
Eventually, as Pedro Porro slipped Sarr through and it broke to Maddison, Ward provided the finishing touch to the fizzed delivery across the face of goal tantan
Tottenham’s second came via the same route, even if the finisher was more familiar tantan
Son added another first-time finish to his collection this season as Spurs again took to the sides to cut Palace apart tantan
After Sarr’s switch, Maddison’s quick two touches released the overlapping Brennan Johnson – who had replaced Richarlison moments before tantan
Johnson took a moment before pulling the cross back to Son and the Spurs captain, now with eight Premier League goals this season, was typically clinical with his left foot tantan
Son Heung-Min celebrates another great goal (Getty Images)And so, after a first half where Tottenham struggled to create any clear openings, the three points felt secured within the space of 11 second-half minutes tantan
Palace offered very little after going behind, Hodgson’s side refusing to open up or press Tottenham to the growing anger of the home supporters tantan
Even though Tottenham’s Guglielmo Vicario further enhanced his reputation as perhaps the standout goalkeeper in the Premier League this season with two early stops, first denying Jordan Ayew and then Odsonne Edouard, Palace’s best chance without either Eberechi Eze or Michael Olise seemed to be holding out for 0-0 tantan
There was nothing surprising about Palace’s approach from kick-off but it did enough to briefly halt Tottenham’s momentum under the Friday night lights of Selhurst Park tantan
Hodgson’s side, and a defence that shipped four goals away to Newcastle last weekend, were set up to be awkward and difficult against the leaders, a sign perhaps of the force Tottenham have already become under Postecoglou tantan
At first, Tottenham struggled to open up the gaps and it said a lot about the growing importance of left-back Destiny Udogie tantan
Ruled out due to injury, the impressive 20-year-old left a void that Ben Davies never looked comfortable trying to fill tantan
Udgoie has been a revelation in this fresh Spurs side by impressing in the half left-back, half number 10 role that Postecoglou demands tantan
Even without the Italian, Postecoglou did not compromise his approach as Davies stepped in, but the 30-year-old looked lost as he looked to drift ahead of Maddison when Spurs were in possession tantan
Davies’s first start of the Premier League season lasted all of 47 minutes, replaced by Emerson Royal at half-time tantan
Postecoglou needed an answer and the introduction of Johnson on the wing brought an improvement on Richarlison, who continues to look short of confidence when in attacking positions tantan
If Richarlison and Maddison never quite looked in sync, that changed with the arrival of the Welshman tantan
While Tottenham’s opening goal was fortuitous, the second was sharp and brought a rare moment of class to the contest tantan
It was considerably more than the little Palace were able to muster, until Ayew lashed in an excellent volley in the 94th minute: by the time the goal was eventually awarded after a VAR check for handball, it gave Tottenham five more minutes to see out tantan
Palace did have one last chance after a cross to the back post fell to Matheus Franca in the box tantan
But the substitute sliced the chance wide and high, Spurs breathed a sigh of relief and in the corner, the party finally could begin tantan
