SYDNEY (Reuters) - England coach Eddie Jones said it was "fantastic" effort by his squad to win all three tests against the Wallabies in June - the first time Australia have suffered a whitewash in a home series since 1971.

Although he repeated his mantra that England were a long way from their goal of becoming the number one side in the world, Jones could not disguise his pleasure at sweeping the side that knocked the hosts out of last year's World Cup.
