After a loss to Fiji last time out, it was a do-or-die clash for Australia, with Jones stating on Friday he had no doubt his side would win the game
Matt Williams called it the 'worst Australian performance in my life' as Eddie Jones' side slumped to a crushing 40-6 defeat to Wales in the Rugby World Cup on Sunday.But the Aussies were rudderless as Wales strolled into the last eight of the tournament with ease.Matt Williams, speaking on Virgin Media, said, "That's the worst Australian performance in my life that I've seen."Everyone is going to blame Eddie [Jones] but we've lost our 'why'.
Former England boss Jones will be left to face the music as the Wallabies have exited at the pool stages for the first time in their history. It was a fast and furious contest, and Wales had to defend resiliently at times as Australia utilised powerful back-row runners Leota and Rob Valetini. Wales extended their advantage just two minutes into the second period when Australia conceded a scrum penalty and Anscombe duly obliged with three points.
Two more Anscombe penalties took Wales past 30 points, and they were now almost toying with their hapless opponents.
