Eddie Jones says the British and Irish Lions have to get their players emotionally involved to end their long wait for a series win in New Zealand next summer.Despite a series win in Australia in 2013, they head Down Under having won just six Tests against the All Blacks since their first trip in 1888 -- including two on the solitary successful tour in 1971 -- and were routed 3-0 by the world champions on their last visit in 2005.England coach Jones, who reiterated his commitment to the job, has recent success in the southern hemisphere after leading the country to a maiden series victory on Australian soil last month.He also brought an end to Englands Six Nations Grand Slam search, guiding the nation to their first in 13 years, with those results built on intensity, pride and passion.Warren Gatland did a great job on the last Lions tour, picked a strong squad, played a very simple well-understood rugby, Jones told ESPN.Its about getting the guys emotionally involved in playing for the Lion because it is such a historical team that the tactics arent so important as the emotional involvement.Jones name has been linked to the tourists coaching role after his rapid success with England but Lions officials saw their approach to the RFU rebuffed.Jones was speaking on the sidelines of the ongoing Tour de France, and joked that it would be more likely he would lead a team in the gruelling cycling race than on a Lions tour.Its very flattering to be considered but Ive signed a contract with the English rugby union to coach them for the next four years and I need to spend every moment I can making sure I make England as strong as I can, he said.To coach the Lions you have to take 12 months away from your national team and I just cant afford that time away. Ill coach England and wait to see what comes up next. Maybe Ill coach at the Tour de France next.Jones has said he wants to see a large England contingent in the squad to face the All Blacks, and he hopes the tour can help develop his players.I would be disappointed if there werent as many as 15 English players picked for that squad but we have to get through another November series and Six Nations, he said.If our players keep performing well, which they will, then I anticipate we will have at least 15 players in that Lions squad.Jones added: The great thing with our English guys is if we do get 15 picked in the Lions, they will get a different coach, they will get different ideas that allow them to grow even further.
