Former England boss Eddie Jones is rumored to have held talks to become the head coach of Japan for a second time, despite being under contract with Australia. Jones hopes to be a catalyst for change after a disastrous World Cup campaign with Australia.
The 63-year-old former England boss was in charge of a disastrous World Cup campaign, which saw Australia fail to reach the knockout stages for the first time in their history.
Jones was reappointed Australia head coach in January 2023, just one month after the Rugby Football Union sacked him for a poor run of results in which England had won just five of 12 Tests in 2022. Jones’ return to Australia, for whom he coached between 2001 and 2005 and led them to the 2003 World Cup final in which they were beaten by England, quickly turned sour.England hold off Argentina fightback to claim third place at World Cup
Australia’s 12.5 per cent win rate in Jones’s second stint as Wallabies coach is the least successful in their history.
