LONDON (Reuters) - As part of his preparations for six weeks of international rugby, England coach Eddie Jones will try to ensure his players avoid the "no fans, no fight" mentality he feels has contributed to some of the crazy scorelines peppering the Premier League.

Aston Villa's 7-2 home win over Liverpool after Tottenham Hotspur won 6-1 at Manchester United on Sunday took the season's tally to 144 goals in 38 games - 40 more goals than last year, at an average of 3.79 goals per game, the highest for 90 years.
