Eddie Jones compares Wales comeback threat to horror movie

The England coach admitted the hosts caused his side serious problems before they finally came through 24-13 at Parc y Scarlets.

Eddie Jones compared Wales’ threat of a comeback in England’s 24-13 victory over Wales at Parc y Scarlets to watching the horror film ‘Psycho’.

An 11-7 lead failed to reflect the visitors’ control of the first half and a hard-fought third quarter was fraught with danger as Wayne Pivac’s men threatened a comeback when successive Dan Biggar penalties reduced the deficit to 18-13.

But England powered home through the boot of Owen Farrell to secure their place in the Autumn Nations Cup final, which will be played in front of 2,000 fans at Twickenham next Sunday.

Asked if Wales would raise issues with World Rugby, Pivac added: “We’ve been doing it every week, to be honest with you.

“Behind the scenes we review the performances of our players, and in doing that, we do pick up things that we send through to World Rugby.

“We’ll certainly be doing that on this particular occasion, because I wasn’t happy with the first try of England’s.”

It was a much-improved performance by Wales but ultimately, they were unable to threaten a team currently seven places above them in the world rankings.

“We asked for a lot of energy, we asked for a bit of passion,” Pivac said.

“We wanted to start well and I think we got the good start after weathering the storm, with the breakout try.”
