JONES’ WARNING ON SOCIAL MEDIA USE

EDDIE JONES is planning to address his England squad about social media after No8 Nathan Hughes received a two-week ban for a tweet.

Hughes got a four-week ban for punching but his suspension was extended to six weeks when he tweeted ‘what a joke’ in reaction to the charges on social media.

With Billy Vunipola and Sam Simmonds injured, England are now desperately short on No8 options for the autumn series, with Ben Morgan called up alongside Zach Mercer.

‘I’ll definitely advise Nathan not to use four-letter words,’ said England head coach Jones.

‘All of our staff have made contact with the FA and the main area we have learnt is how we use social media.

‘There is a discipline aspect that we have just seen and secondly there is how we can connect to the fans better.’
