England coach Eddie Jones impresses James Haskell

Wasps flanker James Haskell has been impressed by the methods of new England coach Eddie Jones as he prepares the squad for the forthcoming Six Nations.

Jones has named his first matchday squad ahead of the opening match of the campaign against Scotland at Murrayfield on February 6.

Three uncapped players are on course to make their international debuts in the match following the decision to retain back row Jack Clifford, prop Paul Hill and centre Ollie Devoto at the squad's Surrey training base.

Lock Maro Itoje is among the 10 players sent back to their clubs for this weekend's Premiership matches and Jones has opted for Jonathan Joseph at outside centre after Elliot Daly was released.

In total there are 12 survivors from the matchday squad toppled 33-13 by Australia in October, a result that sealed England's World Cup demise.

Haskell has already taken to the style of the Australian coach though and his emphasis on getting the basics right from the start of his reign.

"It was good. It started with a bang, as might have been expected," Haskell said.

"I didn't know what to expect. Eddie's very straight talking - he has demanded high standards and the understanding is that winning is the most important factor in everything we do.

"It's a different mindset and implementation to what has gone on before. Eddie is a very straight-talking guy, likes a bit of banter and has shot me down a couple of times.

"He is a constant presence, which I think is great. There is a big focus on attention to detail, everything is well thought out, well planned and well presented.

"The need for a massive re-build is not the case. Eddie is not trying to start afresh - he's brought some boys in, he's got boys that he wants to play and has picked people who are on form.

"He wants to seize the day and that's what we all want to do, but the first and only goal is Scotland."

Jones has appointed Dylan Hartley captain for the Six Nations and Haskell insists his presence has already been felt.

"Dylan has only been in charge one day but he's demanding accountability from players and putting the onus back on the boys to win," Haskell said.

"He was vocal in training and led things from the front when required. He's quite good at that and that'll build up more and more.

"With people eager to make an impression there were quite a few voices anyway."
