Jones is considering Georgian match mid-6 Nations to test forwards' mettle
Eddie Jones could be taking England to Georgia midway through the Six Nations to harden his forwards.
The England head coach is also considering training sessions against Six Nations rivals Italy, Wales and Scotland.
Jones' side could become the first to win three Six Nations titles in a row.
"We have got a few up our sleeve," said Jones in an interview on The Telegraph website.
"Tblisi is a nice place at this time of year. We have got a couple of fallow weeks and we have got plans."
"We are 100 percent [looking at a trip to Georgia]. Tbilisi is cold, it has a great red wine. It's fantastic. And the meat is good – and good Roman bars.
"We are planning what we are going to do. We have a good relationship with Scotland, Wales, don't know about Ireland – too far to go Ireland – and Georgia, so there's potential. And Italy."
If England does go to Georgia, Jones will be looking to improve the intensity of their training sessions and well as recreating the travel challenges his team might face when they head to the World Cup in Japan in 2019.
"They [Georgia] have a massive scrum," Jones added.
"They have the strongest pack in the world. Their babies are born with beards! To improve our training that is one thing we are looking at it, who can we get a higher quality of opposition."

Go to commentsThat loss to the Blues still stings! The Reds have fallen short in 4 of the 6 games decided by 7 points or fewer. Are they not fit enough to close out the close games or are there tactical issues when games go down to the wire? The pleasing thing is no Australian side can better the Reds record of 3 wins from 5 against Kiwi sides but the Brumbies can match it. Les Kiss has instilled a belief in the Reds that they can match it with all the New Zealand sides.
