Eddie Jones, the coach brought in to replace Dave Rennie, leaves Australian rugby after a series of losses and a disappointing World Cup performance.
It ends the most catastrophic 12 months in the history of Australian rugby with the 63-year-old brought in to replace Dave Rennie just months before the 2023 World Cup .
To add further insult to the black eye he has given Australian rugby, Jones has given two final interviews where he has suggested Rugby Australia has bigger problems than himself. The report reveals Jones met with Rugby Australia chief executive Phil Waugh and chairman Hamish McLennan before his exit was made official.
“That’s the intention mate. But as you know we play in a game where the coach doesn’t decide how long they stay,” he told reporters. Jones had coached the Wallabies to a World Cup final in his first stint, which ran from 2001 to 2005, losing the decider to England.
