Eddie Jones责怪Steve Borthwick的早期言论, 指责法国因分散英格兰注意力、伤害焦点、为贫穷六国成果出力而大肆炫耀。 Eddie Jones blames Steve Borthwick's early talk of a France showdown for distracting England, hurting focus and contributing to poor Six Nations results.

前英格兰主教练埃迪·琼斯将史蒂夫·博斯威克一月份关于可能决定冠军的法国比赛的言论归咎于分散球队注意力，并导致英格兰在六国赛中的糟糕状态。 Former England coach Eddie Jones blames Steve Borthwick’s January comments about a potential title-deciding match against France for distracting the team and contributing to England’s poor Six Nations form. Jones说,这番话暗示要进行最后一轮的炫耀,造成对未来游戏的过早关注,有可能使球员和家庭为巴黎之行进行规划,并破坏集中精神。 Jones says the remarks, which suggested a final-round showdown, created premature focus on a future game, potentially leading players and families to plan for a Paris trip and undermining concentration. 他将调查队在苏格兰的31-20次损失以及爱尔兰的惨败与失去精神专注和信心联系起来, He links the team’s 31-20 loss to Scotland and heavy defeat by Ireland to a loss of mental focus and confidence, especially after an early 17-0 deficit. 琼斯强调,现在,强有力的领导对于扭转滑坡趋势至关重要,因为英格兰面临着与意大利对决的必胜局面。 Jones stresses that strong leadership is now essential to reverse the slide, as England faces a must-win match against Italy.
