Eddie Jones has been accused by Premiership Rugby of placing player welfare at risk after staging a full-bore training camp that has resulted in his England regime being criticised for the first time.An intense session in Brighton on Tuesday has seen Anthony Watson added to a growing list of players who will miss the entire autumn series after the Bath wing broke his jaw during a collision.On the same day it emerged that Wasps flanker Sam Jones faced months out after fracturing his right leg during a judo session held 24 hours earlier, while Mike Brown and Joe Marler of Harlequins and Saracens George Kruis have been unable to train since.Kruis director of rugby Mark McCall views the timing of the three-day camp on the south coast as flabbergasting and madness due to its proximity to the opening round of European rugby, in which the double winners face Toulon on Saturday week.The main object of McCalls anger is Premiership Rugby, who he suggests needs to be careful chasing all this money at the expense of the clubs in reference to the ￡225 million deal recently agreed between Twickenham and the domestic league that enshrined the unsatisfactory date for the camp.Premiership Rugby, however, insists the intensity of the training that was signposted by head coach Jones on Friday as a test of resolve designed to make players feel uncomfortable is not in keeping with their interpretation of the agreement.In the interests of player welfare, Premiership Rugby believes that England should not be doing full training sessions straight after a Premiership weekend, a statement read.This format was not anticipated and we would not expect full training sessions to occur during the two remaining two-day England camps planned this season.The Rugby Football Union insists the content of the practise sessions was in keeping with the terms of the arrangement.The professional game agreement enables England players to attend training camps, which obviously involve rugby training, an RFU spokeswoman said.As we approach the autumn series, game training has to take place. This has always been part of the plan and is fully in line with the agreement.Jones methods are being scrutinised following his decision to put his 37-man squad through a gruelling session the day after they had practised judo while overseen by British coaches JP Bell and Kate Howie.Australian Jones is a notoriously demanding taskmaster and McCall hinted at his displeasure over the workload given to Kruis, who has been troubled by a back problem that the second row is still managing.George didnt train on Thursday because hes coming back from injury and we need to be sensible with him. It would have been wrong for him to train on Thursday, McCall said.Wed have preferred him to do one day with England and two days with us, but that didnt happen.There was no ambiguity over McCalls view of the timing of Englands stay in Brighton, however, and who he held responsible for signing it off as he prepares Saracens for Sundays title showdown with Wasps.From our clubs point of view we thought that Premiership Rugby could have fought harder as to where these camps are situated in the calendar, said McCall, who added that he has no objective in principleTo have the camp 10 days before our first Champions Cup game was flabbergasting. I understand Englands needs, but it seems madness. Everyone goes on about player welfare yet our international players have had a tough Monday and Tuesday and we are playing on Sunday.We would like to have been involved in the discussion. Not to be consulted about it at all seems to be strange. Weve got to fight our corner in these situations. I think the directors of rugby at least should be asked. We werent part of the discussion at all.When I raised it and objected to it I think there was surprise that it should cause any problem. England need time with their players -- I understand that -- but we would prefer it to be at a different time.It seems madness that we are playing on a Sunday and everyone goes on about player welfare when our international players have had a tough Monday and Tuesday.

PITTSBURGH -- Pirates rookie Josh Bell came up big again Sunday, but it wasnt enough this time.Bells baserunning helped Pittsburgh tie the score in the seventh, before Kris Bryants RBI double in the eighth lifted the Chicago Cubs to a 6-5 victory over the Pirates on Sunday.The Pirates tied the score at 5-5 after the Cubs failed to turn a double play off a dribbler from Starling Marte in the seventh. With Bell, who led off the inning with a walk, at second base and John Jaso at first, Marte grounded to shortstop Addison Russell as Bell ran back to second.Russell didnt tag Bell and instead handed off to second baseman Ben Zobrist, whose relay throw to first failed to beat Marte. First baseman Anthony Rizzo threw back across the diamond to third, where Bell avoided a tag from Javier Baez.Today, (Bell) made a very good baserunning play to throw it in reverse and to stay out of the tag, Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. Then he was able to restart it and get to third base, that was very good baseball awareness and a very good play there.With runners on the corners and one out, Andrew McCutchen drove in Bell with a fly to deep right field. Reliever Pedro Strop ended the inning by getting David Freese on a fly ball.Bell, called up from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday, went 2-for-2 and reached base in each of his three pinch-hit at-bats during the weekend series. He singled off Cubs ace Jake Arrieta in his first career at-bat Friday and hit his first grand slam in the fifth inning Saturday.Im not sure he could have a better three at-bats, just based on what was out there for those at-bats, Hurdle said. Today, a lead-off at-bat against a guy thats an experienced guy, to stretch that out, it was good to see. He checked all the boxes we had for him when we called him up. It was to help as a bat off the bench and help us win some games.Pinch-hitter Matt Szczur doubled to left field with one out in the eighth against Pirates reliever Tony Watson (1-3). Bryant, who had three hits and reached base four times, followed with his tiebreaking hit to put the Cubs back ahead.I just go out and try to make something happen, Szczur said. I was able to get a good pitch to drive and (Bryant) did the rest. . Weve been grinding, were a bunch of grinders, so that was a good way to end the first half. We feel good about ourselves.Chicago avoided a series sweep ended its five game losing streak. Pittsburgh lost for just the second time in 11 games heading to the All-Star breaak.ddddddddddddWith the win, the Cubs carry a seven-game lead over the second-place St. Louis Cardinals into the break.We need a break, Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. We need to get guys rested. The combination of the schedule and, more specifically, the last week with the way games were scheduled, it put us in a fatigue situation.After Strop (2-2) gave up McCutchens tying sacrifice fly in the seventh, Carl Edwards pitched a hitless eighth and Hector Rondon got the last three outs for his 14th save.Strop had come in for starter John Lackey, who had another inconsistent outing. After allowing four runs in his first three innings, which included McCutchens 14th home run of the season and his second in two days, Lackey rebounded by shutting down the Pirates through the following three innings.Lackey lost his control again when he walked Bell and allowed Jaso to follow with a single to start the seventh inning.Pirates starter Jonathan Niese fared worse, giving up five earned runs in 3 2/3 innings. He was pulled in favor of Arquimedes Caminero in the fourth inning after surrendering a two-run home run to Albert Almora Jr., retiring the following two batters and allowing back-to-back hits to Bryant and Rizzo in top of the fourth inning.Niese has lost five of his past six starts and is 7-7 after beginning the season 6-2.TRAINERS ROOMCubs: OF Dexter Fowler will miss the All-Star Game on Tuesday and likely some time following the break.
