Eddie Jones insists that the Rugby World Cup defeat has no bearing on his current England squad, as they prepare to face Wales on Saturday.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Eddie Jones, England coach (Q: Does the World Cup loss to Wales have any bearing on this game?):

"We're a new England. We don't refer back to that game because we're a new England. Probably 70 percent of the players are the same, the other 30 percent are new to Test rugby. We've got a different philosophy for how we play, we've got a different philosophy for how we train, different philosophy of how we behave so that game has no relevance to us on Saturday."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Eddie Jones, England coach (Q: How do you view the game with Wales?):

"Well we've picked our best 23 for the Wales game. It's obviously the most important game because it's the next game coming up. We're very happy with the squad, great competition for places. We've made a few changes on the bench which has strengthened the side again. Some players have been unlucky to be left out but we're in a good position for the game."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Eddie Jones, England coach (Q: What do you make of this Welsh team?):

"They've been together eight years. They've had a great run in Europe. They've been the benchmark in Europe in terms of their physicality and their fitness and we're looking forward to benchmarking ourselves against them."
