Known for his sharp tongue and dry wit, England coach Eddie Jones has made waves again by having a dig at the All Blacks. 

The 60-year-old Australian was appearing on New Zealand rugby show The Breakdown and he was asked a question about what he was expecting from the upcoming Super Rugby Aotearoa, which gets underway this weekend. 

The tournament will see all all five of New Zealand's Super Rugby franchises compete against each other over the net five weeks. 

In response, Jones had host Mils Muliaina and the rest of the rugby community in stitches. 

"Just so many good young players, mate," Jones offered first, before following up with a devastating punchline. 

"I don't know how you do it there. Well, I do, it's because you've got three of the biggest academies in the world. Fiji, Samoa and Tonga."

The Aoteraroa gets underway this Saturday, 13 June with the Highlanders hosting the Chiefs (09:05, SA time) while on Sunday, 14 June the Blues host the Hurricanes (05:35, SA time).
