Rugby: England versatility key as they prepare to face Georgia - Mitchell

Defence coach John Mitchell backs Eddie Jones' nine forward tactics against Georgia in the Autumn Nations Cup. Mitchell: "It's something that's really important, [Eddie Jones' nine forwards plan] actually helps the squad and players in the squad understand, in any point in time, you may have to be adaptable. It does obviously create permutations, should you get a good acceleration and learning in that particular area when you do that. You can go to a six-two split on the bench or you can create that hybrid position in your starting selection. To me, it’s just something that our players accept and embrace with all arms because it’s just another way of learning that you might be called upon in a different position. There are so many situations now where you are without players in positions and people have to be adaptable, so it’s important in case that situation occurs for us."
