England's rugby coach Eddie Jones spices things up for press

From First Up, 5:19 am on 23 October 2019

England's rugby coach Eddie Jones is doing his best to spice things up ahead of Saturday's clash with the All Blacks in the Rugby World Cup semifinals in Japan. Never one to shy away from a touch of pre-match mental warfare, Jones was at his cheeky best in front of the cameras and microphones in Tokyo yesterday afternoon. The most notable of the comments from the English team's Aussie coach was the suggestion "someone" had been spying on their training run. After explaining they had spotted a long-lens camera in an apartment block overlooking their practice ground, Jones suggested there was little point in spying on international rugby teams these days.
