England manager Eddie Jones has revealed he is confident that the training sessions held with Georgia have helped his side, according to a report on the official Six Nations website.
Jones invited Georgia to practice some scrum situations with his players because he believes they will prepare his players for any challenge that they face in the remainder of the Six Nations tournament.
Jones recently called the Georgia scrum as one of the “strongest” in the world and was keen to see his players test themselves against them in training.
England are looking to create history by becoming the first side to win the Six Nations tournament three times in succession.
Jones said:
Georgia were just the sort of scrum we needed to scrum against – strong, scrummaged in a different way and the boys learnt a number of different things.
I think early on they probably had the superiority but I think we came back fairly well so it was an excellent session from us, the players really enjoyed it.
They [Georgia] just use their head and shoulders in different ways. You’ve got to realise that they basically scrum for a living so our guys have learnt a number of different things
England are preparing to take on Scotland at Murrayfield in their third fixture of the Six Nations and go into the game in good form after winning their opening two matches.
Ireland are currently at the top of the table, ahead of England only on points difference.
