SIR CLIVE WOODWARD: Eddie Jones had the guts to fix his mistake

Well done Eddie Jones and England. It is really pleasing for me to actually say that. 

At the final whistle in Sydney, you could see how much a series win in Australia meant to the team, and I have to give credit to Jones for fixing the huge mistake he made by starting Danny Care.

I take my hat off to Jones for that, because it was a big, bold call. As England coach I never substituted a player before half-time, but the decision to replace Care at scrum-half was the right one.

In the build-up to the third Test, I made it clear I could not understand why Jack van Poortvliet had been dropped to the bench after such an impressive display the previous week. 

It was a massive error. Care had a really poor half an hour, but Jones realised he had made a mistake and rectified it quickly. It takes guts to do that and his move paid off. Van Poortvliet made a huge difference when he came on.

Van Poortvliet is the find of the tour. He is an excellent player, and outstandingly calm for such a young man. The Leicester scrum-half might only be 21, but he immediately made England look more organised when he appeared off the bench. His composure and speed at the breakdown were impressive.

I feel sorry for Danny. It is tough on any player when they are hooked out of the game so early and not for an injury or tactical reasons.

But in Test rugby there can be no room for sentiment. I'll repeat - it was the right call to replace him.

With Van Poortvliet on the field, England were much better, and to have won a series in Australia is huge for the team after a poor Six Nations. At international level it is about winning. Only on the back of victories can you move forward with confidence. England will now be able to go into a huge season with
