Former South Africa winger Thinus Delport has tipped the new England coach Eddie Jones to get the best from the squad. Australian Jones has taken over from Stuart Lancaster after a disappointing tournament for the World Cup hosts. On day two of the Emirates Airline Dubai Rugby 7s, Delport is raising awareness for Motor Neurone disease by playing for Joost van der Westhuizen's J9 Foundation in the International Vets tournament. Speaking exclusively to ARN's Ric Boullemier, Delport also gave his advice for players and fans at the Dubai 7s, and explained what it's like to play with Fijian legend Waisale Serevi for the J9 legends.
