(Reuters) - England head coach Eddie Jones has leapt to the defence of George Ford, despite the flyhalf failing to convert six of his seven shots at goal during England's 27-13 victory over Wales at Twickenham on Sunday.

England scored five tries on their way to an ideal send off for their three-test tour of Australia but it was a day to forget for the 23-year-old Ford, who missed two penalties and four conversion attempts.
