LONDON (Reuters) - Rugby's Nations Cup reaches its conclusion this weekend, highlighted by Sunday's England v France final, but anyone expecting a diversion from the stodgy fare on show for the last month is likely to be disappointed, according to Eddie Jones.

England have collected dominant victories over Georgia, Ireland and Wales but, other than the odd flash of individual brilliance by winger Jonny May, the matches have been something of an ordeal for the remote watching public.
