England coach Eddie Jones has come out defiant amid growing calls for him to go.
After the 24-17 defeat to France, England 2003 World Cup-winner Kyran Bracken said that he needed to go "right now" and be replaced by an English coach.
Having thrown verbal grenades France's way in the build-up, Jones was left sifting through the wreckage of the defeat at the Stade de France on Sunday afternoon.
Meanwhile, Matt Dawson condemned foolish pre-match comments and Sir Cive Woodward weighed in, blasting Jones' "media hype".
But despite the criticism, Jones was happy to face the cameras at a press conference and made a stand, saying that he won't be backing down and is helping his players to ignore the criticism.
"Kyran is entitled to his own opinion and I'm sure it's a very good opinion. He might have a point; it should be an English coach," he said.
"When I first started coaching a very famous coach said to me that if you listen to the fans you end up in the grandstand with them. That's always been my philosophy."
He has also told his players to follow suit and close their ears to the "poison".
Jones told BBC Sport: "Noise is always a factor and more and more so today with social media - it is in the players' faces.
"They like social media, they want to be a part of social media and when it turns like this, it is difficult for them.
"We have to make sure they keep their focus. They have to understand what is important.
"There will always be criticism, there will always be praise, we just try and minimise the poison they take in."
Jones also insisted England will be ready for any provocation in Saturday's Guinness Six Nations clash at Murrayfield and branded Scotland "niggly".
Jones recalls an incident before the game two years ago when Scotland number eight Ryan Wilson shoved George Ford in the tunnel, prompting Owen Farrell to rush to the defence of his team-mate. You can read about that here.
That day ended in a 25-13 defeat that exposed glaring breakdown deficiencies and launched a five-Test losing run that placed Jones' future in doubt.
In the first visit to Edinburgh since, Jones is primed for more provocation as England look to revive their title aspirations after the France loss.
"Scotland are a niggly side. Our historical record against Scotland is interesting - over 80 per cent wins in England but only 50 per cent at Murrayfield," Jones said.
Asked for an example of "niggly" conduct, Jones replied: "The dressing room scene two years ago when they tried to goad a couple of our players. And they were successful.
"Historically they've done that through the ages. That's the way they stay in the game and they're good at it.
"It is more than a rugby game for Scotland maybe and you can lose your attention and your attention in these sorts of game is everything.
"The Murrayfield environment helps them but you've got to be good enough to stay focused, be on task, do what you need to do.
"Composure is always important in rugby, but probably more so at Murrayfield.
"We're going to be as calm as possible going into the game. We let ourselves down a bit in that game.
"After what happened against France, we definitely need to start strong. So the calmer we can be going into the game the better."
