LONDON (Reuters) - Coach Eddie Jones said England face a mental block when closing out matches after his side blew a 31-0 lead in extraordinary fashion to draw 38-all with Scotland in their final Six Nations game on Saturday.

Jones's team needed an 83rd-minute try by George Ford to salvage a draw that left Twickenham in a state of disbelief as the Scots, who had not won there for 36 years and looked set for another hiding, somehow scored 38 unanswered points.
