Eddie Jones will tap into the coaching nous behind Great Britains success at Rio 2016 to help develop his own backroom staff.As England continue their charge to what they hope will be an unbeaten year, Jones is looking to improve both his players and coaches. For his backroom staff -- Paul Gustard, Steve Borthwick and Neal Hatley -- they will spend time with the mastermind behind the womens hockey success in Rio with other speakers planned.With Great Britain doing so well at the Olympics, there are a number of sports to look at and learn from, Jones said. People have come in and talked to the staff. Its been very much about how we can learn and get better.Weve got the hockey guy coming in in a week or so [Danny Kerry]. Look at what hes done with his hockey side. If you look on face value at the talent in that team compared to the Holland team, its probably not as great.So his ability to create such a dynamic and hardworking team is fascinating, so well learn a lot from him. Were going to visit judo in a couple of weeks. Weve had conversations with the cycling.With two rounds of the Aviva Premiership down, Saracens are setting the pace and Jones has been impressed by their young fly-half Alex Lozowski. With England set to name their Elite Player Squad on Sep. 30, Lozowski has a chance of forcing his way into the mix -- while Jones continues to be impressed by the Vunipola brothers.Billy Vunipola against Exeter w as absolutely out of this world, said Jones, who was speaking on behalf of Mitsubishi Motors. Talk about intelligent performance.Hes gone from being a blockbusting No.8 -- and he can still do that -- but now he has the ability to pass, step and offload, although one of his offloads wasnt too flash, but Im sure hes not too worried about that one. Hes still only 23 and is going to get better and better.Mako [Vunipola] played well as well. He had a great tour of Australia. Joe Marler is back so theres plenty of pressure there. [Leicester prop, Ellis] Genge has done well off the bench, so we have some really good options at loosehead.Mako has continued on, scrummaging well, carrying well, working hard in the loose. Those two have really set Saracens apart at the moment.

He now says the taxi wasnt pulled over but that they were robbed after making a stop at a gas station.He also said the assailant pointed a gun at him rather than putting it to his head.The investigation intensified Wednesday as the swimmers started heading home to the U.S., and a Brazilian judge ordered the seizure of Lochte and Feigens passports.The U.S. Olympic Committee said police went to the athletes village to try to collect the passports, but the swim team had already moved out.Lochte has already returned to the U.S., and Conger and Bentz boarded a plane later Wednesday only to be removed by the authorities. Feigens whereabouts are not known, though he told the San Antonio Express-News he was still in Brazil.Steve Bentz, father of Gunnar Bentz, when reached by phone late Wednesday night, said: I really dont want to say anything, and hung up.Lochtes father, Steve Lochte, told The Associated Press by phone from his Florida home that his son called him Tuesday after arriving in the United States. The 32-year-old swimmer was going to pick up his car and buy a new wallet to replace the one that he said was stolen in the robbery.Im just happy hes safe, the elder Lochte said. It was an unfortunate experience for him and the other three. I dont know what all the controversy is. They were basically taken out of the taxi and robbed. The main thing is hes very lucky that hes safe and that all thhey got was his cash and wallet.ddddddddddddThe elder Lochte said his sons Olympic credential and cell phone werent taken during the incident early Sunday morning. He said he was sure Ryan had his passport or he would not have been allowed to board a plane.Associated Press reporters waiting outside Lochtes home in North Carolina did not see the 12-time medalist.Lochtes attorney, Jeff Ostrow, did not immediately return messages seeking comment.A police official with knowledge of the investigation told the AP that police cannot find their taxi driver or witnesses from the robbery. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.The group did not call police, authorities said, and officers began investigating once they saw media reports in which Lochtes mother spoke about the robbery. Police interviewed Lochte and one other swimmer, who said they had been intoxicated and could not remember what type and color of taxi they rode in or where the robbery happened, the police official said. The swimmers also could not say what time the events occurred.Ostrow has said there is no question the robbery occurred.Why would anybody fabricate anything? Steve Lochte said. Its just ridiculous.Lochte swam in two events at the Rio Games, winning gold in the 4x200-meter freestyle relay. Bentz, 21, and Conger, 20, also earned gold for swimming in the preliminary heats of the 4x200 relay. Feigen, 26, received gold for swimming in the heats of the 4x100 free relay, which was won by the U.S.Lochte described the incident to NBCs Today show.We got pulled over, in the taxi, and these guys came out with a badge, a police badge, no lights, no nothing just a police badge and they pulled us over, Lochte said. They pulled out their guns, they told the other swimmers to get down on the ground -- they got down on the ground. I refused, I was like we didnt do anything wrong, so -- Im not getting down on the ground.And then the guy pulled out his gun, he cocked it, put it to my forehead and he said, `Get down, and I put my hands up, I was like `whatever. He took our money, he took my wallet -- he left my cellphone, he left my credentials.Lochte told USA Today that he and his teammates didnt initially tell the U.S. Olympic officials about the robbery because we were afraid wed get in trouble.
