DURBAN (Reuters) - Under-fire England coach Eddie Jones has backed the commitment of his players and believes they will save their best for last to avoid a whitewash in the third and final test against South Africa in Cape Town on Saturday.

Jones has been criticized for a one-dimensional game-plan and his management style in the wake of a fifth test loss in a row when England were defeated 23-12 by the Springboks in Bloemfontein last weekend.
