Eddie Jones says England have failed to produce a world-class player since Jonny Wilkinson, but believes a number of his Grand Slam winners are close to ending that barren spell.World Rugby layer of the year nominees Owen Farrell and Billy Vunipola, as well as fly-half George Ford -- each of whom start against Argentina -- are three England stars pushing hard for inclusion in a global XV.If you look at the record of English rugby since 2003, theres only been one world-class player produced and thats Jonny Wilkinson, Jones said. But some of our guys are moving towards that world-class area. I dont think you get a stamp on your head to say youre world class now and youve got that for life.Weve got guys now who are starting to perform 8 out of 10 every game and when you do that then you become world class. Now we have a number of players who want to be part of a great team and want to be great players. Theyre growing in assertiveness and in their desire to be better, which is fantastic.Before, there hasnt been the desire from the players to push themselves and be great. To do that you have to work that little bit smarter and work that little bit harder.Jones is preparing for the penultimate international of an autumn that could conclude with a record-equalling 14th successive Test victory. Argentina play their final match of the season at Twickenham on Saturday.The first thing about playing against Argentina is that its a test of your manhood, Jones said. They are physical guys. When you go to Argentina, you have a big steak, dont you? Its all about being physical. Thats our first test. Weve got no issue with that, we know thats coming.Jones also aimed a barb at Englands Dec. 3 opponents Australia, saying Argentinas last-placed finish in this years Rugby Championship failed to reflect the Pumas true quality.They were probably the second best team in the Rugby Championship, Jones said, despite Australia finishing runners-up. We are playing a very good side that we know if they scent any sense of complacency in us, theyll be all over us like a rash.Theyve played some fantastic rugby and any team that stretches the All Blacks for 50 minutes is a really good team. They did that in the summer with some wonderful rugby.In terms of results, they dropped off towards the end of the Championship and they probably had some fatigue. But fatigue tends to go out the window when you know youre going back to a six-week holiday because this is their last game of the year. They out All-Blacked the All Blacks and to do that you have to be pretty good. cheap wholesale jerseys .J. -- Josh Cribbs was in the Pro Bowl in February and out of a job six months later. cheap nba jerseys authentic .S.

LONDON -- Nick Kyrgios didnt want to sit down at the change of ends when Andy Murray broke him for 2-1 in the third set. He stood around waiting for the inevitable, as if he just wanted to get off Centre Court and back to the locker room -- and he got his wish soon enough.Murray was expected to win Mondays fourth-round match against Kyrgios given that he was the odds-on favourite to capture his second Wimbledon title, but not in 103 minutes.The first set was good. The rest of the match was pretty pathetic, a visibly despondent Kyrgios said in his postmatch news conference.I was really comfortable out there the first set. I thought I was playing some really good tennis. I believed that I could win the match. As soon as I lost the first set, I just lost belief. Felt like a mountain to climb.What was supposed to be the first true test for Murray at these championships became a breeze, as the world No. 2 won 7-5, 6-1, 6-4 to set up a quarterfinal match against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.After the Scot edged a nip-and-tuck first set, Kyrgios seemed to check out mentally at 2-1 and 15-40 down in the second set, which he surrendered in just 26 minutes.What do I do? was all Kyrgios could say to his team as Murray toyed with him in the third set, tempting him out of his comfort zone and punishing him. The Briton was in his head.When things get tough, Im just a little bit soft, said the Australian. Ive got experience, but it ultimately comes down to just laying it all out there and competing for a long time. I didnt do that today at all.Kyrgios gave an honest no when asked if he was applying himself with all his heart to become the best tennis professional he can be.How can he go about changing that? I dont know, he replied. To be honest, I woke up this morning and played computer games. Is that the greatest preparation? I dont know. But it was fun.His decision to sit down in the Court 18 stands watching Lleyton Hewitt play doubles just two hours before he was due on Centre Court was also questionable in terms of getting himself ready to face a player of Murrays calibre. Kyrgios, however, disagreed.Whether I was in the llocker room sitting down or sitting down next to the court I dont think really made a difference, he said.ddddddddddddCentre Court had expected fireworks between two of the great personalities of the game, but they were left with a one-sided encounter as Murray put on a masterful performance and Kyrgios ultimately capitulated.[Murray] said sorry, Kyrgios revealed of their conversation at the net after the match. I said, Its OK, just win the tournament, please. Then we hugged.Perhaps Kyrgios showed too much respect for his friend Murray -- there was none of the usual feisty attitude that feeds his game, the sparks that he thrives on.John McEnroe, commentating for the BBC, suggested Kyrgios needs to hire a coach if he is to find his focus and fulfill his potential.But Kyrgios said: One week Im pretty motivated to train and play. Im really looking forward to getting out there. One week Ill just not do anything. I dont really know a coach out there that would be pretty down for that one.I know that I have the talent to do good things. Its just ... yeah.Murray claimed time was on Kyrgios side, but the sooner he makes improvements the better it will be for his career.Its about finding the right people to help you with different things, Murray said during his new conference. For some it may be a coach. For some it might be a psychologist. Sometimes it might be speaking to family about stuff.Theres not one way of tackling it. But if you want to continue to get better, then you speak and listen to as many people as you can, and take on board the things you think will help you.Kyrgios has admitted in the past that he prefers playing basketball to tennis. It was perhaps telling he looked more passionate giving his opinion on Kevin Durant agreeing to a deal with the Golden State Warriors -- Disgrace. Its a joke. Im not watching the NBA -- than he did on court or answering questions about his match.At times I dont love the sport. But I dont really know what else to do without it, he said. ' ' '
