Eddie Jones has returned fire at Australia’s Nic White, who said he was expecting more off-the-ball antics from England in Saturday’s deciding Test in Sydney, describing the Wallabies scrum-half as “the biggest niggler of all-time”.
White said on Tuesday he was surprised by the level of wind-up tactics in the first two Tests but was adamant the Wallabies would not be baited into “that off-the-ball stuff”. White was involved in an incident with Ellis Genge in the second Test in Brisbane where he was pinned to the ground by the England loosehead, who put his elbow into the scrum-half’s face.
