England Grand Slam just the beginning, says George Ford
Fly-half George Ford believes England's historic Six Nations Grand Slam is just the start of things to come under new coach Eddie Jones, and has backed the national side to add further honours and silverware to their name in the coming years.
The Red Rose made it five wins out of five during the recent 2016 test, sweeping aside all put in front of them and securing their their first Grand Slam since 2003.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Bath Rugby's George Ford was quick to remain grounded in light of England's huge achievement.
"This is only the start for us and while we're glad to have done this, we understand we need to get better as well," he said.
"There's so much more time to come. The potential is endless. This is a small start to becoming a better team.
"We understand there are tougher things to come, but if we stay humble and grounded and keep working hard and enjoying each other's company, then this team can go places," he added.
England were not without their difficulties on their way to securing the Grand Slam, being pushed to the limit against Wales and having to manoeuvre a stubborn France side in the final game of the test.
But Ford believes England's resilience and new found character is testament to the impact of new coach Eddie Jones, who has created an environment in which to thrive within the England camp.
"Eddie is a really honest guy and he'll tell you straight what it is you need to do to take your game to the next level," said Ford.
"The biggest thing for me is that he's created an enjoyable environment and the lads have responded brilliantly to that. Training has been taken to the next level.
"He's installed a way of playing into us and wants us to attack teams and that's the way the lads like playing. We've worked hard and it's been a tough eight weeks, but it's been an enjoyable one at the same time," he added.
The Six Nations masterclass pulled off by the Red Rose could not have been better timed, following a dismal 2015 World Cup campaign. England rugby needed to climb from the depths of underachievement and prove to the sporting world they could still compete among the elite.
Ford explained: "After the World Cup we went away, stuck together and the majority of that squad was involved in this. Sometimes you have to take things like what happened then on the chin and stay grounded.
"The boys are over the moon. We've been second for the last four years so to win it and get the Grand Slam has left us chuffed to bits," he added.
