Eddie Jones has fuelled tensions ahead of Englands Six Nations clash at home to Ireland - a game many see as the new head coachs first real test. It will be Englands first Twickenham encounter since their disappointing World Cup campaign and Jones has got his digs in early by criticising Irelands style of play under Joe Schmidt.Jones has said that Schmidt has brought more kicking into Irelands game, and that they kick 60 to 70 per cent of their possession away. However, former Ireland back-rower Alan Quinlan says that Jones maths is way off.Eddie needs to get his facts right, because his percentages are totally inaccurate, said Quinlan on the Sky Sports Rugby Podcast.I think Ireland kicked 24 per cent against France and 23 per cent against Wales. If he [Jones] adds up his own numbers, they are much higher - 36 per cent in both their games. Sky Sports Rugby Union Podcast - 24th February I think it is just mind games, and I think he is just trying to rile Ireland a little bit. There is a certain amount of kicking you have to do in a game - against Wales, they were accurate and sensible kicks.There are always one or two which are going to be awry but that is the modern game.Pressure Quinlan is amazed that Jones has swapped Robshaw (R) for Haskell (L) at No 7 Ireland may have drawn against Wales and lost to France compared to Englands two wins against Scotland and Italy, but Quinlan believes England are under more pressure than Ireland.We dont really know how England are - they have beaten Scotland and Italy, he added. Scotland have lost nine on the bounce. England have not exactly set the world on fire yet.Eddie Jones has not really changed this team up too much - they still have not got an out-and-out No 7. Who is Elliot Daly? Five things you need to know about Englands new centre It amazes me that he moved Chris Robshaw over to No 6 and moved James Haskell in at No 7. I think he should pick one of the young guys as an out-and-out No 7. England will always have a big pack, but that is what they are crying out for.Quinlan admitted to be slightly concerned about the attitude of the Ireland squad, who still seem to be suffering from the disappointments of their own World Cup campaign. Ireland were stunned by Argentina in the 2015 World Cup There is a bit of negativity around the group, said the former Munster star. There was a lot of positivity going into the World Cup after winning two Six Nations. I think the big problem is that people are frustrated that Ireland were then beaten so convincingly by Argentina.The mitigating factors were all the injuries but it was a disappointment, and questions marks arose around how they were playing.I think some of the criticism has been a little unfair. When you lose people like Paul OConnell, Peter OMahony, Cian Healy, Mike Ross, Tommy Bowe... all these guys have a huge amount of experience and are used to winning matches. I thought Ireland played really well against Wales. There were some real positives but the negativity has crept back in after the France game. Alan Quinlan I thought Ireland played really well against Wales. There were some real positives but the negativity has crept back in after the France game.TacticsDespite this, Quinlan is confident Ireland can give England a proper Test match and says they will be focused on the set-piece and building phases.Ireland will not win this game by kicking, added Quinlan. They will need to hold onto the ball and build phases.I think the basic fundamentals have to be right for Ireland - the scrum and the lineout. They fell short against France and that ultimately cost them. Quinlan won 27 caps for Ireland from 1999 to 2008 Against England, they have got to get their set-piece right. If they get good quality ball from the middle and tail-end of the lineout, then they can have some strike moves in and around George Ford and Owen Farrell, and look to build some multi-phases.If Ireland are to have any chance of beating England, they have got to build phases and they have got to recycle the ball really quickly.Now have your say… Please tell us what you think by giving us your comments below or alternatively, why not Tweet us @SkySportsRugby?

SPIELBERG, Austria -- Lewis Hamilton is on the verge of a grid penalty after Mercedes fitted the last complete power unit of his seasons allocation ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix.Under the regulations each driver is allowed to use five of each power unit component before incurring penalties and Hamilton is now on his fifth MGU-H and turbocharger of the year. He says it is now inevitable he will use a sixth of those components over the remaining 13 races, which, if taken at the same round, would result in a 15-place grid drop at one of the future races. He has now used three internal combustion engines and MGU-K units as well.I dont have an answer to why its happened the way it has but Im starting with my last [full] engine this weekend and so I will have at least one race where I start dead last, most likely two, probably, he said. With two more fresh engines Ill have to take the sixth and seventh [components]. The worst thing is that I am the only Mercedes driver [including drivers at customer teams] to have this, so for sure its difficult for us as a team and its difficult considering we are the Mercedes team, so you wouldnt expect it to happen.If there is 40 engines you would hope that we would have the best of the 40 but thats just the way it goes and Ill just have to do the best I can with the one I have now and hopefully the next one or two I get it doesnt happen.Asked if he was frustrated by the issue, Hamilton said: Well for sure its not easy to look at the table annd you see eight Mercedes drivers and everyone else is on the normal plan, on their second engine and still have four engines left and I only have one left, for sure it doesnt feel great but theres nothing I can do about it.ddddddddddddSpeaking to anyone about it wont make no difference, it is what it is. I dont fully understand why its happened but I just hope that Mercedes grows from it and I hope they learn something from the faults that theyve found on mine and hope it doesnt happen to the rest of the Mercedes-Benz engines.Hamilton said Mercedes will aim to lessen the impact of the penalties by making the component changes at circuits where overtaking is possible.I will try to look to take it at a circuit where I feel like I will be able to get the furthest up, closest, maybe a track where I might be able to catch up and maybe try to challenge for a win, he said. Thats my thought process and I have to go into it thinking I can still win it. There might be safety cars, there could be all sorts so I will try to have an optimistic view on it but its not that easy to overtake at some places so...The percentage chances of Nico winning and me finishing second or further back is obviously higher, but we all try to minimise firstly the engines that we have to take. It is what it is so you just have to deal with it and try to weave your way through it. ' ' '
