England boss Eddie Jones wants to turn Red Roses into the Liverpool of rugby union

EDDIE JONES wants to turn England into the Liverpool of rugby union.

Red Rose boss Jones begins his quest for Six Nations glory against France in Paris today.

Jones (right), 60, said: “Everyone wants to watch Liverpool because they play with ferocity, desire and never get beaten.

“We want people to speak about us like that, we want to have an effect on how the nation sees rugby.

''The number of football fans who told me they watched us beat the All Blacks in the World Cup semi-final.

“When you play that sort of rugby, like Liverpool in football, people want to watch it.”
England return to Test action at the Stade de France this afternoon — exactly two months after their heartbreaking World Cup final defeat to South Africa in Japan.
Jones’ contract runs for another two years but if this Six Nations is a success then he will most likely get an extension until the France World Cup in 2023.
And Jones admits he would have quit if he thought he could not win it in four years.
He added: “The only reason I’m continuing is because I think this team can improve. And the RFU only want me to continue if I can improve the team.
“The contract is important from a legal point of view but they want to win and I want to win.
“I heard Pep Guardiola talking about whether he’s going to re-sign at Manchester City. It’s a bit like that.

“The players tell you whether you should continue or not and that’s what I’m looking at. If the players play well and the team is going well, then maybe you should continue.

“If the team’s indifferent — then maybe they need a change. Maybe I’d have come here to France and done another job.
“I only coach because I love the game. I want to make a team that’s worth watching.
“The exciting thing for me is we’ve got a squad that’s already good but they’re still young enough to grow.
“I want them to have an opportunity to be as good as they can.”
