Eddie Jones says no one wants England to win the Grand Slam and believes that was behind the Welsh Rugby Union releasing a statement on Joe Marler.The loosehead prop was cleared to play against France on Saturday after a Six Nations disciplinary hearing accepted his explanation after being caught on referee Craig Jouberts microphone calling Wales Samson Lee a gypsy boy in the hosts 25-21 win at Twickenham.The WRU released a statement on Thursday expressing their surprise at the decision not to sanction Marler but the England head coach told Sky Sports News HQ that the timing of the release was not coincidental. Eddie Jones says no one wants England to win the Grand Slam I think everyone is keen for England not to win the Grand Slam, lets be real about it, Jones said. So Wales will be happy if we dont win the Grand Slam and they are happy to do anything to upset us in preparation for the Grand Slam, its as simple as that.Why else would they [put the statement out just before Jones press conference]? The whole thing has been dealt with. This is why you have citing commissions and you have review panels, for those people to deal with it. WRU surprised by Marler decision Welsh Rugby Union surprised by lack of sanction for Englands Joe Marler Once they have made their decision then you get on with it. You dont say it is wrong that they made the decision, youve got to get on with it and thats what happened and Wales have decided not to do that. Why? Well, there has only got to be one reason.How they behave - we talk about values in rugby. I know I have been criticised for values in rugby. You talk about values in rugby, lets have a look at them now.Warren Gatland apologised on Wednesday for referring to Marlers gypsy boy remark as banter but Jones said the Wales head coach would have had nothing to do with the release from the WRU. England prop Joe Marler clashed with Wales front-row Samson Lee in the Six Nations fixture between the sides Asked about the Welsh stance on the situation at the start of his Thursday press conference, Jones said: Maybe they [WRU] dont know whether they are Arthur or Martha.There was a decision made, that is what we have these judiciary committees for. I said I would let the process run its route - it has run its route.I dont think it has got anything to do with Warren [Gatland]. He has got in trouble for what he said, so lets leave it at that. England beat Wales 25-21 at Twickenham Jones was also asked if he thought Marlers comment had been racist and said: I spoke to Joe about the situation and said it was inappropriate.The England coach has selected Mako Vunipola to start at loosehead in their Grand Slam decider against France on Saturday but he insisted Marler has not been left out on the back of the incident with Lee and sought to draw a line under the row. Jones issues instructions during an England training session Absolutely not. [Starting with Vunipola] suits the way we are going to play at the weekend, Jones said.We have a Grand Slam in front of us and a Grand Slam is much more interesting than something that was said seven days ago.Also See:Englands Six Nations starsGatland apologises for commentSky Sports Rugby Union podcastCare, Vunipola start in ParisAdidas NMD Black Sale .

First off, the fans ripped the Cubbies introduction of a fuzzy new kid-friendly mascot named "Clark".ROME -- An Argentina side without Lionel Messi beat Italy 2-1 Wednesday in a friendly match honouring Pope Francis. Gonzalo Higuain put Argentina in front in the 20th minute and substitute Ever Banega doubled its lead four minutes into the second half before Lorenzo Insigne pulled one back with his first goal for Italy in the 76th minute. Higuain, Napolis new signing, was one of several Argentina players currently in Serie A. Pope Francis is an avid football fan, who comes from Argentina. He met the teams in the Apostolic Palace on Tuesday. AC Milan and Italy striker Mario Balotelli missed the match with an injury. Both he and Messi returned to their respective clubs Tuesday night. The last time the teams met was in 2001 -- also a friendly in Rome that Argentina won 2-1. Before that, Diego Maradonas Argentina eliminated host Italy from the 1990 World Cup on penalties in a semifinal in Naples. "We met a team of great quality, one of the best in the world," Italy coach Cesare Prandelli said. "We made mistakes coming out of defence and started badly, but then we did well. "We lacked that grit and finish around the penalty area, but the team did well. Honor to Argentina, it is a very strong side." The match was also used to promote peace and camaraderie in sport and to that end both teams had been staying at the same hotel and had travelled to the Stadio Olimpico together. Italy captain Gianluigi Buffon and his Argentina counterpart Javier Mascherano also planted an olive tree in a temporary pot after the national anthems, as a sign of unity. The tree will be kept in the Vatican gardens. All that had little impact on the teams competitiveness on the pitch, as the match was fast-paced right from kickoff. Italy had a good chance early on as Daniele De Rossi collected the ball in his own penalty area and dribbled downfield before lifting an accurate long ball to release Pablo Osvaldo. However, Argentina goalkeeper Mariano Andujar rushed out to clear the danger. It was Osvaldos first match back since being kicked out of the Confederations Cup squad for insulting his club coach at Roma -- a breach of Prandellis strict code of ethics. The Roma striker was born in Buenos Aires. Argentina went even closer twoo minutes later as Higuain raced into the area but Giorgio Chiellini got in a perfectly timed tackle to clear the ball for a corner before the former Real Madrid player could unleash a shot.dddddddddddd Chiellini, who was celebrating his 29th birthday, also headed the resulting corner out to safety. Argentina took the lead after Italy lost the ball in midfield and Erik Lamela picked out Higuain, who was given too much space in the box by De Rossi and Verratti and he curled a shot into the right hand side of goal. Italy started looking more dangerous, especially down the right flank, and almost took the lead in the 39th minute. Antonio Candreva put in yet another cross from the right, but Claudio Marchisio -- seemingly surprised to find himself completely unmarked -- failed to connect from a meter out. Argentina should have doubled its lead on the stroke of halftime when Rodrigo Palacio slid in, in front of an empty net, but didnt connect properly with Angel Di Marias cross and blazed the ball over the crossbar from close range. Argentina did so shortly after the restart. Higuain rolled the ball across to an unmarked Banega following a swift counter attack, and the halftime substitute drilled a low shot into the bottom left corner. Argentina could have extended its lead in the 56th minute when Palacios ball was parried by Federico Marchetti -- who had come on for Buffon moments earlier -- but only as far as Higuain. However, Marchetti got back up swiftly to palm away his effort and De Rossi cleared the danger. Italy almost grabbed one back but Andujar did well to tip Alessandro Diamantis free kick onto the crossbar. The rebound was eventually bundled into the net by Candreva, but he was clearly offside. The hosts did reduce the deficit in stunning fashion. Osvaldo touched the ball onto Insigne and, with his first touch, the 22-year-old lifted the ball perfectly into the top right corner from 25 yards. It was Inisgnes second game for Italy. "It was a wonderful sensation to score," Insigne said. "I always try those shots and it went well tonight. "It was a wonderful feeling to meet the pope, I got goosebumps because it doesnt happen every day. I still need to fully realize it happened." ' ' '
