The former Japan fifteens coach has a fair idea about the humidity and weather around most places.

Jones says picking the perfect location for their camp is ideal.

“They’ve chosen a variety of locations. We decided to come to Miyazaki. We wanted another heat and climatization camp. I know Miyazaki well because this was our base for the 2015 World Cup with Japan. We’ve got a great training facility here and hotel by the sea which is enough for the players to do but train hard.”

Meanwhile, Fijian born winger Joe Cokanasiga and flanker Mark Wilson are injury doubts for England’s Rugby World Cup opener.

England will take on Tonga at 10.15pm this Sunday.
