LONDON: Wallabies you've been warned: Eddie Jones says he will pick an England squad to tour Australia that's equipped to "play Bodyline".

Never short of a colourful quote, Jones was in particularly good form as he prepared newly crowned Six Nations champions England for their bid to complete a grand slam with victory over France in Paris on Saturday.

Insisting he would get that game out of the way before considering selection for the three-Test tour of Australia in June, the former Wallabies mentor could not resist a provocative dig he knew would garner attention Down Under.

"We've got to take a side down there to play Bodyline," said Jones, referencing the infamous 1932-33 Ashes series.
