What have they said?
Eddie Jones, England head coach: “We’ve done a fair bit of homework for this turnaround.
“We trialled a four-day turnaround against Japan last autumn, to make sure the players have experience of it.
“We’ve looked at selection pretty closely, looked at the players who could back up and who couldn’t back up.
“We’ve tried to work out which players need a rest. Each player is different – some players need a longer time to recover, and some are much better off when they’re in form to keep playing.”
