BRISTOL: England coach Eddie Jones believes off-field problems will be part and parcel of his side's Rugby World Cup campaign after his surprise move in leaving out centre Ben Te'o from his squad for Japan.
England's last overseas World Cup campaign, in New Zealand in 2011, was marred by several embarrassing off-field incidents, but former Japan and Australia coach Jones said there was only so much he could do in a bid to avoid fresh trouble abroad. "All I can do is trust the players - they are adults, they're responsible, they want to play for England and we could have some problems. If we do, we'll deal with them."
By contrast Jones has now jettisoned full-back Brown, scrum-half Danny Care and back-row Chris Robshaw, a former England captain.But Jones was adamant the extra injection of energy would make up for any deficit elsewhere.
