Dave Rennie has been sacked as coach of the Wallabies with Eddie Jones to make a sensational return to the job for this year’s Rugby World Cup
Jones, who was dismissed by England in December, has signed a five-year deal and will also oversee the Wallaroos programme.
“It is a major coup for Australian Rugby to have the best coach in the world return home to coach the iconic Wallabies and to oversee the Wallaroos program,” Rugby Australia chairman Hamish McLennan said. “Eddie’s deep understanding of our rugby system and knowledge of our player group and pathways will lift the team to the next level.
“Eddie instinctively understands the Australian way of playing rugby – this represents an opportunity to secure a coach of immense expertise and experience at the biggest competitions, and we did not want to miss it.”
