I know the team and the guys know the team, roughly. We have trained well today, prepared well, we have one more day to go but we are looking forward to it, he told Sky Sports News HQ.There have been much documented injuries to the second row but we have seen Courtney Lawes and Joe Launchbury come back and do a fantastic job for us. Eddie Jones explains why he will not be introducing curfews for Englands rugby players following Wayne Rooneys apology for his behaviour on the weekend. Whoever plays, I am sure they will do a great job.Jones enigmatically suggested during his news conference Fiji want a Cava party, we dont.

We still want to play fast, front foot, attacking rugby but we cant get into a loose game. England rugby head coach Eddie Jones delays naming the side to play Fiji on Saturday because of injury concerns. As for team discipline - an issue in top-level sport after pictures emerged of England football captain Wayne Rooney at a fellow guests wedding at the team hotel in the early hours of Sunday morning - Hartley explained how they approach the matter.The guys are all adults and we come back here [to the hotel] as a team afterwards. We have got recovery on a Sunday and we have another big game to prepare for, he said.We let the guys make their own decisions. As soon as we need to start making rules, we have got an issue.We just put in individual responsibility, thats what we do as a team. Eddie Jones has a leadership group in place and doesnt think curfews will ever be needed Jones was of a similar opinion, adding: They are adults. Most of the players have got their own families. Theyll come back here, theyll have a few beers and theyll decide when they go to bed.The time we have to have a curfew is the time we dont have a leadership group within the team. Weve got a great leadership group within the team so we dont need to have curfews.Watch England v Fiji on Saturday.

They have already clinched a playoff spot. Detroit takes another step toward its first-ever NFC North crown, as it goes after a fourth straight win in a road test against the hapless Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. The Lions secured their second playoff spot in four years when Philadelphia lost to Washington on Saturday. The Lions could also clinch their first division crown in 21 years with a win coupled with a Green Bay loss to Tampa Bay. Its right there in front of us, defensive end Jason Jones said. Everything broke right for the Lions in Week 15. First, the Buffalo Bills pulled off an upset of the Packers, then Matt Praters late field goal helped the Lions pull out a 16-14 victory over the Minnesota Vikings to move them into a tie atop the division with the Packers. Detroit actually holds the tiebreaker over Green Bay at the moment given its win over the Packers earlier in the year. The Lions will visit Lambeau Field in Week 17, likely with a chance at securing their first division title since winning the NFC Central in 1993. Were not taking any game for granted, any play for granted, said Matt Stafford, who threw for a season-low 153 yards in the win over the Vikings. Its not going to be pristine every time, but were going to fight tooth and nail for wins and that showed up again today. Its the first time the Lions reached 10 wins in the first 14 games of the season since the Lions started 10-4 in 1991. Chicago, meanwhile, is no such playoff position after a lifeless, 31-15, shellacking at the hands of the New Orleans Saints on Monday. And now the team is in complete disarray. Shortly after the loss reports started to circulate that head coach Marc Trestman may be out of a job at the end of the season. Then, on Wednesday it leaked that the Bears would bench starting quarterback Jay Cutler in favor of Jimmy Clausen, who hasnt started a game since 2010. The bottom line is that this is a business based on winning and losing, Trestman said. We cant sugarcoat it. We are disappointed that were not playing well enough to win. Cutler turned in another subpar performance against the Saints as he threw for just 194 yards on 17-of-31 passing with two touchdown passes and three interceptions for the Bears, who have dropped their last three games. Overall, I just feel that we need passion to come from certain places and I dont think the passion is always there all the time, Bears tight end Martellus Bennett said. The Lions have won three straight over the Bears including a Thanksgiving Day triumph when Stafford threw for 390 yards and two scores.dddddddddddd They havent won consecutive contests in Chicago since a six-game run from 1968-73 WHAT TO WATCH FOR Detroit only managed 233 total yards versus the Vikings, but could be in store for a big bounce back this week considering the Bears have given up 35.3 points and 438.0 yards over their three-game slide. Chicagos defense has given up a league-high 409 points, 19 more than the Tennessee Titans, who have allowed 390. In fact, theyve given up 251 points in the first half alone. To put that into perspective, three teams havent surrendered that many in 14 full games, led by the Lions with 238 and followed by the Seahawks (242) and Cardinals (244). Speaking of the Lions second-ranked defense, they havent allowed more than 17 points in three straight games and five of the last six. That doesnt figure to change against a Bears team that will go with Clausen, who has completed three of his nine pass attempts this season. Before this season, the former Notre Dame star hadnt appeared in an NFL game since playing 13 for the Carolina Panthers as a rookie after he was taken in the second round of the 2010 draft. Cutler, meanwhile, has started all 14 games in his sixth season for the Bears, completing 66.1 percent of his passes for 3,640 yards, 28 touchdowns and an NFL-high 18 interceptions. He has fumbled 12 times, losing six to lead the league in overall turnovers. Our whole football team isnt where it needs to be, Trestman said. Nobodys happy about it. Jays not happy about it. We all can do better. Even without Cutler the Bears still have some offensive firepower with wide receiver Alshon Jeffery, Bennett and running back Matt Forte. You look at a guy like Alshon Jeffery, safety Glover Quin said. He can make tough catches. He can go deep on you. You look at Bennett. He can move the chains. You look at Forte. Hes a Pro Bowl player. Hes a big-time running back. You look at all those things. They can throw it. They can catch it. They can run it. OVERALL ANALYSIS Its all there for the Lions taking, as they can finished anywhere between the No. 1 seed in the NFC to No. 6 in the conference. As for the Bears, well, what can you say. They looked like a team that had packed it in last week. Now, theyll have a quarterback who hasnt started a game in four years. Its getting ugly in Chicago and it figures to be worse after Sunday.
