Three-time British and Irish Lions tourist Elliot Daly has revealed the most important piece of advice he received from former England coach Eddie Jones.<\/p>\n

Speaking on\u00a0The Good, The Bad & The Rugby podcast, the 33-year-old also revealed the key area in which Saracens colleague Noah Caluori needs to work on.<\/p>\n

Eddie Jones\u2019 key piece of advice<\/p>\n

Jones coached Daly for seven years at England, and helped mould the Saracens<\/a> star into the player he is today.<\/p>\n

\u201cEddie was one of the best coaches I had,\u201d Daly told the panel. \u201cBecause when I was trying to get in the team, I was doing way too much, like \u2018I need to show I\u2019m good\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe just sat me down, and was like, \u2018stop thinking.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t really understand it at the time. He said, \u2018Just do whatever the first thing comes in, it\u2019ll probably be right. I\u2019ve done that ever since.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daly has since acquired an honours list to rival almost any player in the country, which includes three Six Nations Championships, one Premiership title and a starting appearance in a World Cup final<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Back three control<\/p>\n

Once a raw talent with an entire career ahead of him, Daly is now an experienced head, able to provide insight and support to the young lads coming through.<\/p>\n

At Saracens, the headline talent is 19-year-old Noah Caluori<\/a>, who has been utterly mesmerising in his PREM breakthrough season. Leading the try-scoring charts with 18, including 10 tries in just two games against Sale Sharks, he has caught the attention of England head coach Steve Borthwick.<\/p>\n

Still incredibly fresh to the international environment, Caluori has already appeared for the \u2018A\u2019 team. But Daly believes that an introduction to senior training will only further his development as he looks to gain a full senior England cap.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do quite a lot of back-three stuff together, but more when he first came in,\u201d Daly explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis attacking side of the game is going to be his attacking side of the game, running kicks back, catching high balls, and beating people; he\u2019s got that.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s more backfield defensively, those are the things that you learn, that\u2019s probably the biggest jump from academy level to the first team.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can run an attack shape, and you can drop an academy kid in a session; they won\u2019t look out of place because if they get the ball, they can just run if they want to, whereas if you drop them into a defensive system, everyone needs to be on the same page.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I\u2019m calling him back to be on like a half, because they\u2019re going to kick that way, or that kind of thing, he needs to be able to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s understood what he needs to do now\u201d<\/p>\n

Daly<\/a> has seen huge growth in the young man\u2019s game.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom when he first came in, he\u2019s realised that, and he\u2019s understood what he needs to do now,\u201d Daly continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was talking about how important training is, because for him, he wouldn\u2019t have run a backfield before.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re not thinking that at the school level, or you\u2019re not thinking, \u2018Oh, I\u2019ve got space in the backfield there\u2019, no one\u2019s actually gonna just exploit it, whereas at Premiership level it\u2019s going to be.\u201d<\/p>\n
