Under pressure to deliver, English rugby bosses pulled off what would prove to be a masterstroke: Luring Australian coach Eddie Jones from South African side the Stormers. A run of 18 straight wins - tying New Zealand's tier one record - was completed on Saturday when England crushed Scotland 61-21 at Twickenham. Jones was already being hailed as the savior of English rugby. The All Blacks' winning streak was ended in November by Ireland in Chicago, and the Irish have the opportunity to do the same to England next Saturday in Dublin. England will not just be going for a tier one record of 19 straight wins.
