Eddie Jones expects "sleepless nights" over England selection

Eddie Jones praises his England players for their impressive display to brush aside Fiji at Twickenham on Saturday, but admits that he now faces a selection headache.

England head coach Eddie Jones has admitted that he faces a selection dilemma for next week's clash with Argentina after being left impressed by a number of his players.

The Red Rose racked up their 11th win in succession by seeing off Fiji in style on Saturday afternoon, earning a 58-15 victory at Twickenham to ensure that Jones remains unbeaten since taking charge last year.

Jones claims that the manner of England's latest win has left him facing a few "sleepless nights" in the coming week, as he prepares his side - who have conceded 10 tries in their last three games - for their third match of the Autumn International programme.

"We are starting to get an understanding of how we can develop our attacking style," he told Sky Sports News. "There were some great lines run by George Ford, the back three attack well, it was great to see the wingers with the ball in their hands in space, rather than right against the touchline which is what we are trying to do, so some really good movements.

"We wanted total control and total control meant that the middle five George [Ford] and Owen [Farrell] created space for the outside five and they did that and they created the space that allowed those guys to look very good. Those guys don't look good unless the work is done on the inside. I thought we had a number of good players. I thought [Chris] Robshaw just does all those things that you don't see and that makes a game like this.

"I thought George Ford was really good, his alignment was great. Roko (Semesa Rokoduguni) did well, playing against a winger twice his size. [Nemani] Nadolo looks like he's eaten Roko a couple of times so I thought he did well. Elliot [Daly] keeps impressing. We have got great competition for places so it is going to be a couple of sleepless nights before we do selection. And we'll name the side on Thursday this week - well, that is what we are aiming to do."

England crossed over nine times in all in their emphatic win over Fiji, with Jonathan Joseph, Joe Launchburry and Rokoduguni all registering two apiece.
