LONDON (Reuters) - England coach Eddie Jones broke his own rule about never criticising match officials when he described the late red card for Manu Tuilagi as "absolute rubbish" and claimed England ended up playing against 16 men in their 33-30 Six Nations win over Wales on Saturday.

England looked to be cruising to victory at Twickenham but were reduced to 13 men after a yellow card for prop Ellis Genge following a succession of penalties and the red for Tuilagi with around five minutes remaining as he crashed his shoulder into the head of George North while making a try-saving tackle.
