Eddie Jones says England can still be on the menu for Sarries’ biter Chris Ashton


EDDIE JONES says Chris Ashton needs to get his teeth into a good meal instead of biting rival rugby players.

Ashton’s 13-week ban after being found guilty of biting Northampton prop Alex Waller wrecked his chances of an England recall this autumn.

And the 29-year-old Saracens flier — branded “rugby’s Luis Suarez” by Aussie winger Drew Mitchell — got little sympathy from the Red Rose boss.
Jones joked: “He needs to find a good restaurant so he is not hungry!


“He was found guilty and has been punished — but I sent him a text the other day saying if he plays well when he comes back I will consider him.”

Wasps’ Sam Jones, 23, is favourite to fill Jones’ problem position  at No 7 against South Africa on November 12.
James Haskell and Jack Clifford are injured and Teimana Harrison off form.
Jones said: “Sam  stands out and when he hits  people, they stay hit.”
