Reuters, SYDNEYFormer Wallaby Glen Ella has fired a warning to his compatriots ahead of the end-of-season rugby union showdown with England at Twickenham in London today — Eddie Jones’ team are better than they were in June. Ella helped out his former Randwick teammate Jones as skills coach when England thumped Australia 3-0 in a Test series in Australia in the mid-year international window. Ella, who was an assistant coach with the Wallabies at the 1995 Rugby World Cup, said England had progressed even further. “This team has ... improved since they last met in Sydney as Eddie, whilst happy with the series win, always wants his team to move forward and they have, especially in the backs,” Ella wrote in an online column. Despite favoring England to win and go unbeaten through the calendar year, Ella believed the Wallabies would be tough opponents for the hosts to break down.
