Jones: Japan not near ready for RWC

Tokyo - Japan coach Eddie Jones admitted his side were "a long way off" being ready for the Rugby World Cup despite crushing Hong Kong 41-0 in the Asian rugby championship on Saturday.

After watching the 'Brave Blossoms' dish out a roasting to the visitors to make it two wins out of two in the inaugural Asian tournament, Jones complained his players were still "dreaming of fish and chips" following a recent training trip to England.

"This week some of our players haven't been sleeping and we still have players waking up at three in the morning," Jones told reporters, partly blaming Japan's erratic performance on the effects of jet-lag.
