Thanks Eddie Jones, for the worst World Cup we’ve ever had.
The final nail in the Wallabies’ ugly Rugby World Cup coffin has been hammered in, leaving the sport back home in tatters.A tournament that began with Jones slamming the negativity surrounding the Wallabies has officially ended with the country’s worst ever Rugby World Cup result.
But the damage for Australia had already been inflicted well before this morning’s match and could be felt for years to come.If Portugal had beaten Fiji by more than seven points, the Wallabies would have snuck into the quarter-finals. But that doesn’t mean an Australian side can afford to effectively take a World Cup off, as this team appeared to do.Biggest concern now is the future of rugby in Australia. Beyond the rusted on fans, how do the Wallabies connect with people with Eddie at the helm. What do they do with SR and the dwindling talent pool.
