England head coach Eddie Jones is keen to draw a line under the abuse he has personally suffered in recent weeks, hoping the worst is now behind him.
The 58-year-old was subjected to verbal and physical abuse on a train journey following England's recent Six Nations defeat to Scotland.
Jones found himself on the same train as many opposition fans, keen to revel in their side's victory.
The Australian has moved on from the incident as England prepare to get their Six Nations campaign back on track when facing France on Saturday.
"I just got on with it, it's part of the job. In my job you either get abused, you get slapped on the back and told how good you are or you get advice, so it's always one of those three coming at you," Jones told Sky Sports News when reflecting upon the incidents.
"The abuse isn't nice and you want to keep away from it, but I've had that for a couple of weeks so maybe I won't get it for a while now. I've never wanted anything to be made of it. I didn't bring it forward. I'm just happy that it's finished."
Keen to retrain his focus on rugby once more, Jones said he would not consider extra security when travelling in public.
"I don't think so, that was probably just a unique situation after quite a big build-up to the game where quite a number of Scottish people said things.
"They had a great result and there were a lot of people who were happy, so to say. And that happiness boiled over to something a bit more. Probably in that situation, I wouldn't get on the train again."
England have their Six Nations fate in their own hands, though know they need to come up with victory at the Stade de France.
"They're a big physical team, they've gone back to a more traditional French style of selection - squat front row, massive big physical locks, fast back-rowers, a nine who runs the team, two big centres and pace on the wings," said Jones.
"They'll want to play a rumble game. When they get a break they become the old French and move the ball quickly."
Jones has also backed captain Dylan Hartley, whose leadership has again come under scrutiny in recent weeks.
"I think that's always going to be the case. He's not a fashionable player, and when you're not a fashionable player you don't tend to get the rub of the green with the media.
"He's an unfashionable guy, he's had brushes with the law in rugby and he's one of those tough, selfless players who doesn't do a lot of flashy things on the field but he does a hell of a lot of good stuff for us."
When asked whether he would be backing Hartley to lead by example versus France, Jones was brief but adamant in his answer, saying: "One hundred per cent."
