• Centre given international debut by Eddie Jones in 2021
• Australian's methods have been likened to a 'dictatorship'

Ollie Lawrence has revealed he questioned why Eddie Jones was "on his case so much" when he was the England head coach but has since reached the conclusion the Australian's home truths have been the making of him.

Lawrence won his first cap under Jones – who will face his former employers at Twickenham for the first time on Sunday when England host Japan – in 2020 but failed to make an impact on the international stage despite his fine form for Worcester.
