PARIS (Reuters) - England coach Eddie Jones did not look for excuses after his team fought back to avoid an embarrassing thrashing in a 24-17 defeat by France in their Six Nations opener on Sunday.

The World Cup runners-up had fallen 24-0 behind and were too far from their usual high standards in the opening hour to secure victory at the Stade de France.
