- BY MICHAEL SCULLY

RICHIE MURPHY has accused Eddie Jones of playing games ahead of today’s clash.

The Red Rose boss also questioned

Andrew Porter’s scrummagin­g technique, which prompted

Ireland assistant coach Murphy (below) to say: “I think Eddie Jones is just playing games.

“He obviously thinks Porter is a very good player, which he is. No one has ever come to us and made any comments about his technique.

“It’s jjust one of those games. gam

“He seems to like l to throw a few little bombshells over o the wall.”
