Jones has his Midas touch back but what for England’s imports?

England completed a successful autumn with wins against South Africa, Japan and Australia marred only by a narrow defeat to New Zealand.

Here, Press Association Sport examines the hits and misses from the series.

HITS

Eddie Jones

Mark Wilson

Discovery of the series. When Jones talked of a bolter for World Cup selection, he probably did not have Wilson in mind but after four Tests the Newcastle back row demands selection.

Kyle Sinckler

Maro Itoje

Destined to become the best lock in the game by the end of Japan 2019 according to Jones, and it is hard to argue against that prediction. A colossus who has become England’s go to-forward.

Openside

Owen Farrell

With the World Cup looming, Farrell’s switch from fly-half to inside centre felt inevitable. Now England’s main man is at the very heart of the team where he belongs

MISSES

Farrell’s tackle technique

Jones publicly defended Farrell after his controversial no-arms tackles against South Africa and Australia that escaped punishment, but he knows the Saracens playmaker is treading a dangerous line.

Ben Te’o

Brad Shields

A solid autumn for the Kiwi import, but has yet to make the impact of Chris Robshaw before him while Courtney Lawes and Wilson appear better options at six. The confusion lies over why Shields was fast-tracked by England.
