Eddie Jones celebrated a successful start to England’s World Cup preparations before launching an attack on World Rugby over inconsistency among match officials.
Potential quarter-final opponents Wales were dispatched 33-19 to end their 14-Test winning run and prevent Warren Gatland’s Grand Slam champions from claiming top spot in the global rankings.
Following an impressive result from an experimental side delivered just hours before England’s World Cup squad is named, Jones turned on Sunday’s referee at Twickenham, Mathieu Raynal.
“We need to look at ourselves in terms of a few penalties we gave away around the fringes, giving up soft three points.
“I was disappointed with that first half with too many turnovers. We just didn’t keep possession for long enough periods to create the momentum we needed.
“England did what they’re good at. Their scrum was excellent, they drove the lineouts well and they were pretty direct in the way they played.
“We’ve got some things to tidy up on to negate that. They’ve scored a try from our errors.”
