Eddie Jones: Health scare was a wake-up call

England rugby's head coach Eddie Jones has admitted his suspected stroke in 2013 was 'a wake-up call'.

The Australian, who is England's first ever foreign head coach, concedes that the health scare forced him to re-evaluate his lifestyle.

"It made me realise how lucky I am to do something I love for a living," he told 5 live Sport's Sonja McLaughlan.

"It was a wake-up call to say that when you get old you need to look after yourself and I wasn't doing that. I felt lucky more than anything."
