“Reviews are always annoying when you don’t win. I don’t find reviews comfortable when you don’t win,” Jones said.
“I’m sure the fans have doubts and feel that I don’t know how to coach, but it’s a progression towards the World Cup and we have our ups and downs.
“We want to be stronger in the Six Nations and put ourselves in fourth or fifth place in the World Cup, ready to go.
