DUBLIN (Reuters) - England are improving but nowhere near their best, coach Eddie Jones said after his side put last year's disappointing Six Nations behind them with a thumping 32-20 victory over holders Ireland on Saturday.

Without a victory in Dublin for six years and having to go back two years before that for the last time they even crossed the try line at the Aviva Stadium, England secured what before kick-off seemed to be the unlikeliest of bonus-point wins.
