England head coach Eddie Jones says his side lacked intensity, as they slipped to a 25-13 defeat to Scotland at Murrayfield on Saturday, Sky Sports report.
Two tries from Huw Jones and a third from Sean Maitland reignited Scotland’s Six Nations title hopes and gave the Scots their first win over England for 10 years.
Jones was full of praise for the hosts after the game, taking full responsibility himself for England’s first defeat of the tournament.
Full credit to Scotland, they deserved the victory. For some reason at the start of the game we lacked intensity. They raced away. It is hard to get back. I have got take responsibility for the performance because we weren’t there. I take full responsibility and I have to work out what I did wrong and work out how to fix it.
Six Nations organisers are also set to investigate an incident between Owen Farrell and Scotland No 8 Ryan Wilson, with the pair believed to be involved in a scuffle in the tunnel before the game.
As the teams left the pitch after completing their warm-up, team-mates had to separate the fight and photographs have since confirmed it took place, with Jones unaware of what had happened.
England and Jones will now turn their attention to their next game away at France, while Scotland travel to Dublin to take on an unbeaten Ireland.
