OLLIE LAWRENCE is aiming to show Eddie Jones he is a changed man when the former England boss returns to Twickenham on Sunday.
Jones, now Japan coach, handed centre Lawrence his Test debut in 2020 but only gave him six more caps before ditching him in 2021.
Then Jones (right) used his book later that year to accuse the midfielder of not being hungry enough and claiming Lawrence had a bad attitude. But the Bath man reckons Jones did him a favour.
Since Steve Borthwick.replaced Jones, Lawrence has become a regular for England.
He played a part in every game at the last World Cup and has started the last nine Tests.
And the 25-year-old insists Jones will see a different player when his Brave Blossoms arrive at HQ this weekend.
