Rugby Australia approach Eddie Jones about Wallabies return | tomdecent
However, RA had already lined up Rennie for the top job.“I had some informal contact but nothing too formal,” Jones told the ABC at the time. “I’m committed to a two-year contract to England. It would have been difficult to get out of that contract. I think Australia have already moved in other directions.”“Not really,” he said.
If Jones ended up in a director of rugby role, it would take some adjusting, given he has been a head coach for the majority of his career since leaving Australia following a failed stint with the Reds in 2007. Sources say RA will honour Rennie’s contract until the 2023 World Cup, no matter how the team performs in the next 12 months.
