The kind of cold that makes you pull down your hat and stamp the ground, shuffle your feet and clench your teeth – fitting conditions, then, for an England team struggling through three defeats in a row. This latest, the first at home since Eddie Jones took over, stung like Saturday’s wind. The last attempt was when Ireland were down to 14 men, after Peter O’Mahony had been sent to the sin-bin. Jones had only just had that line moved back, because his team wanted more space in which to play. “When you’re having a bad run,” he said, “everything goes wrong.”After the game Jones was booed by the Twickenham crowd during his post-match interview.
