(Reuters) - England will be outclassed by newly-crowned Six Nations champions Ireland at Twickenham if they fail to deal with their repeated disciplinary issues, former captain Lawrence Dallaglio said.

Eddie Jones' side were beaten by Scotland last month after being repeatedly penalised at the breakdown and failed to rectify their errors in Saturday's 22-16 loss to France.
