EDDIE JONES is ready to make changes in response to the alarming power deficit exposed by the surrender of England’s Six Nations title to Ireland on Saturday.

For a second successive match the fallen champions were overrun at the breakdown as France sealed a 22-16 victory in Paris that has swept the trophy from Twickenham to Dublin with a round to spare.

England will be condemned to their worst Six Nations performance since 2006 and could finish as low as fifth if they fail to prevent Ireland from completing the Grand Slam, leaving only a week to rectify the shortcomings evident against Scotland and France.

The damning post-match statistics listed 11 turnovers and 16 penalties conceded, figures so high that Jones sees no option other than to make personnel adjustments having reached the conclusion that his team have been left behind at the breakdown.

“The game is changing at the moment, which will enforce some selection changes,” Jones said.

“If you don’t have power, it’s very hard to get momentum. Power is force times mass, and it’s how quickly you can accelerate it.

“Significantly, we gave too many penalties away, which was the difference in the game, and the breakdown again caused us trouble.

“We did not learn quickly enough. Why? I am not 100 per cent sure. There’s no lack of effort. The game is changing a little bit and we have probably been slow to adapt to it.”
