Will Greenwood said Englands recent injuries are an unfortunate coincidence, and backed the intensity of Eddie Jones camps. The former England player was on Sky Sports News HQ to discuss the national sides current injury concerns, with Jones under pressure from Premiership clubs after several stars were sidelined following high-intensity training sessions.Wasps Sam Jones broke his right leg and suffered ankle damage during a judo session, with the flanker ruled out for five months, while Bath winger Anthony Watson sustained a broken jaw during a training session last Tuesday. Most recently, Exeter claimed that England told them Jack Nowell only had a minor injury but a subsequent scan revealed a nine-to-10 centimetre tear in his thigh. In the wake of criticism from club bosses, Jones has agreed to a meeting with the 12 Premiership teams to discuss player welfare. Australia coach Michael Cheika defended Eddie Jones training methods following the news of Sam Jones broken leg Will Greenwood says he sympathises with the clubs, but believes the injuries are part of the game, and that Englands recent luckless run is an unfortunate coincidence rather than the fault of the England coaching staff.Ive seen it up close and personal, said the Sky Sports pundit.Theyre not long sessions, theyre not being flogged, theyre not kept out on a field on their feet for hours and hours, but [Jones] wants to replicate Test-match intensity - as close to that as possible - within training camps.Which is exactly what Clive Woodward used to do; make the training so unbelievably hard that when you land on a Saturday... youre accustomed to that heart rate spiking, that physical and mental pressure being applied.

Now, [Jones] has been in charge for a year, there have been some injuries in previous camps, but I think what happens is everything is focused on it when you hear a broken jaw, a broken leg, a torn quad.I believe its an unfortunate coincidence of an accumulation of players being crocked at the same time.Greenwood says communication between the RFU and the Premiership is better today than its ever been, and urged all involved to maintain that relationship in order for England to compete with the All Blacks at the top of world rugby.I think the relationship between the Rugby Football Union and the English clubs, the Premiership, has grown fantastically well over the past four or five years, said Greenwood. Sean Fitzpatrick thinks the current New Zealand team is the best ever Its allowed the club sides to develop with a huge amount of financial support from the governing body, and with that support they buy the right to get access to the players.Which is critical if you have got any chance of keeping up with New Zealand and the southern hemisphere sides. Weve overtaken two or three - were No 2 in the world - but New Zealand are like a club side, they spend so much time together.The positions they play for in their provinces is dictated from up on high, so they have real control over the players. We have a position where players are riding two horses throughout the whole season, theyve got their club colours and theyve got their international colours.So I think its really important that these training sessions do take place, that Eddie Jones gets a little bit more time with the players.The last Test matches these guys played would have been in June, a fantastic tour of Australia where we won three-nil, but the next Test match after that is November the 12th. Its a considerable time to be away from each other.Click on the video to watch the full interview with Will Greenwood on Sky Sports News HQYou can watch Englands tour of Bangladesh, plus Premier League football and the British Masters on Sky Sports.

Karri Ramo had 33 saves in regulation plus three more in the shootout and red-hot Mike Cammalleri scored the winning goal as the Flames won 2-1 over the San Jose Sharks on Monday. Scoreless after two shots each, Cammalleri moved in from off the right wing and went short side on Alex Stalock, setting off a roar from the Scotiabank Saddledome crowd announced at 19,289. Cammalleri entered the night tied with Jarome Iginla for the most goals since the trade deadline (9) and tied with Tyler Seguin for the most points over that same period (15). It then came down to Karri Ramo, who thwarted James Sheppard to clinch it. That coming on the heels of stops against Patrick Marleau and Joe Pavelski. "We played the total team game. I know that Karri Ramo played well, brought us some big saves at the right time, but to pick one player of the game tonight, we could have a long list. I felt that it was a real solid team effort," said Flames coach Bob Hartley. Joe Colborne scored in regulation for Calgary (30-35-7). The Flames have won 10 of their last 13 on home ice. "Lets play well at home, lets get a swagger in this building," said Hartley. "I think the fans are unbelievable, theyve been behind us since the start of the season. The way were playing right now is maybe a small way to say thank you for all our great support." It was also Calgarys league-leading 43rd one-goal game. Thats two away from the club record of 45 set in 2005-06. "Its a tough test whenever San Jose comes in and the fact that we were able to match them and pull one out in the shootout is pretty special," said Colborne. "We hope to be battling them for a divisional or a conference lead sooner rather than later so its a huge experience for us." Sheppard scored in regulation for San Jose (46-18-9). Its his second goal in as many games for Sheppard, matching his output from the seasons first 56 games. Despite having their four-game road winning streak come to an end, the point was enough for the Sharks to clinch a playoff spot for the 10th consecutive season. "It was probably an inevitability but there is satisfaction in clinching," said Sharks coach Todd McLellan. "That was one of the goals that we set out to do and theyve accomplished that. It wouldve been nice to get the two points, obviously were in a heck of a race for other things so thats a little bit disappointing, but we have to move on." The Sharks lead atop the Pacific Division increases to two points over Anaheim, but the Ducks hold two games in hand.dddddddddddd. "We were going to clinch no matter what. It was just a matter of time," said Sharks captain Joe Thornton. "Weve just got to continue to get points. It wouldve been nice to get two but well take the one." San Jose wraps up its short two-game road trip in Edmonton on Tuesday night. After being outplayed much of the first period, Calgary had a much better second. Early on, Stalock had to be sharp, throwing up his blocker to deny Sean Monahan from the slot and stopping Kris Russell from in close after he was set up neatly by Kenny Agostino. The Flames kept up the pressure and it eventually paid off on Colbornes ninth goal at 18:00, the result of a heady play by rookie defenceman Tyler Wotherspoon. Playing his 10th NHL game, the 21-year-old faked a shot and sent a perfect cross-ice pass to Colborne, alone at the side of the net, who buried it over Stalock as he desperately slid across. "Thats an all-star play right there," said Colborne, who has five goals in the past 11 games. "Not too many guys can fake a shot, head up, and find me back door — flat pass through the seam. That was an all-world play." After missing six weeks with a knee injury, Ramos first two starts since his return have been excellent. Saturday night he stopped 24-of-25 in the Flames 8-1 win in Edmonton. One area he had struggled in were shootouts going 0-3 and stopping just 6 of 14 shots coming into Mondays game. "Its a tough situation. Its something that I have to better at, I need to make more saves," said Ramo. "We took a look at the shootouts when I had a little bit of time off so we decided to change some things and work on that and today it worked and that was a good thing, it gives you confidence." Ramo improves to 13-10-4. Stalock had 26 saves in regulation. He hasnt lost in regulation in his last six starts (4-0-2) and is 11-4-2 on the year. "A point in any game in this league is good, especially on the road. Two points were right there. It wouldve been huge, obviously, for the race for the Pacific," Stalock said. "Obviously our goal was to make the playoffs but everybody in this room knew that we should make the playoffs. Its an honour to make the playoffs. Not everyone can. Now the last nine are about positioning."
