Saracens hooker Jamie George has told Eddie Jones he can match the intensity brought to Englands front row by Dylan Hartley. George has had to play understudy to Hartley and, given Jones admiration for his Grand Slam championship-winning captain, the Northampton man looks set to remain first choice No 2 for the foreseeable future. As Premiership clubs question Eddie Jones this week, World Cup winner Will Greenwood backs the England head coach despite injuries to key players Hartley has been sidelined for a month by a back problem, but is expected to make his comeback for Saints over the next fortnight. However, should he suffer a setback in the build-up to the autumn series, George is adamant he is able to offer England the same combative approach.I definitely feel like I can. I have been at Saracens my whole career and thats exactly the game we want to play, said George. Dylan Hartley is currently out with a back problem Eddie spoke about Bodyline in Australia in June, about being physical and confrontational.I play in a team that does that the whole time in the way we defend here and the style of game we play at Saracens. If thats what he wants me to do then Ill do it.Its constantly a work-on of mine, making sure I stay on top of my collisions and that Im physical and dominant, and I feel like Im doing that at the moment.Despite having eight caps I still feel like I have been in and around the camp quite a long time.I have played a lot of rugby for Sarries and started a lot of games and I feel my form at the minute is pretty good.

I still have a lot to work on, but if the opportunity was to come about I definitely feel I am ready, I would take it with both hands.Set-piece expertise is Georges greatest strength, although five tries in six matches have made him the unlikely leading try-scorer in the Aviva Premiership so far this season.I guess its the way the new laws dictate that the hookers come in on the back of a maul, said George, who crossed twice in Sundays 30-14 victory over Wasps.Im pretty happy about it because my name gets on the scoresheet but at the same time its almost embarrassing.You can watch Englands tour of Bangladesh, plus Premier League football and the British Masters on Sky Sports.

IRVING, Texas -- Tony Romo looked like the man in charge of the Dallas offence for the first off-season practice until the drills got a little more competitive. Five months removed from back surgery, Romo donned a baseball cap for 11-on-11 work. Theres no use in rushing, as coach Jason Garrett has been saying for weeks. Romo echoed that talk Tuesday in his first extensive interview since sustaining a herniated disk against Washington and missing the finale against Philadelphia with a playoff berth on the line. "I dont know that theres anything you cant do," the 34-year-old said in the locker room after practice. "You just want to make sure you dont put a high volume of numbers on it yet." For example, Romo says he has thrown at full velocity -- just not very often -- in his continuing recovery from surgery Dec. 27. That came two days before he watched from home while the Cowboys fell to the Eagles in a third straight season-ending loss that put them at 8-8 and kept them out of the post-season. "Its very difficult to watch," said Romo, who was under centre for season-finale losses at the New York Giants and Washington the previous two seasons, and for another one at Philadelphia in 2008. "That one obviously is out of your control. Thats what made it hard. Its amazing how big of a fan you become, rooting and excited about every little thing." Romo was further along Tuesday than he was a year ago, when he had surgery to remove a cyst on his back in April and missed all the off-season practices. He went to California ahead of his teammates for some intense conditioning work before training camp, and spent tthe first few weeks catching up.dddddddddddd "Im actually excited just about comparative to last year where youre just going into camp without having had a rep in the off-season," Romo said. "Theres some things I want to work on, and Ive been doing that in small doses. Now well get that ramped up here." Romo has a new play caller for the third straight season in Scott Linehan, who was offensive co-ordinator in Detroit before coach Jim Schwartz was fired after last season. Linehan and Garrett worked together for a season in Miami almost a decade ago, and plenty of the language will be the same. The new passing game co-ordinator is in no hurry to see up close all the things his new primary weapon can do. "Were early," Linehan said. "And the mental game that hes getting done with us and the meetings and the last four or five weeks when we started our off-season program has been huge. I know hes getting himself ready to go." There are daily discussions over whats next for Romo. "Certainly we anticipate him being ready to go at training camp," Garrett said. "Well evaluate how he did today, say, What do you think? Should we stick with the same plan tomorrow? What do you think about Thursday? Youre always trying to push the limit as best you can, but you dont want to do something where you go across that line and they have setbacks." NOTES: The Cowboys waived injured rookie free agent tight end Evan Wilson and signed guard Tyronne Green, a fourth-round pick by San Diego in 2009. Green has 28 starts in 41 career games. He was with New England part of last season but didnt play. ' ' '
