The Wallabies were eliminated from the Rugby World Cup despite Fiji losing to Portugal on Sunday night. and a"slow motion car crash".News24 Sport front pageAustralian media rued their side's"cruellest" exit from the Rugby World Cup on Sunday after Fiji squeezed past the Wallabies to reach the quarter-finals, despite a shock defeat to Portugal.
"a slow-motion car crash that spiralled out of control as their historic first pool exit was confirmed"Australia's elimination adds to the pressure on head coach Eddie Jones. Former Wallabies lock Peter FitzSimons said Rugby Australia took a risk in sacking New Zealander Dave Rennie as head coach in January and bringing back Jones, who coached Australia to the 2003 Rugby World Cup final.FitzSimons wrote in The Sydney Morning Herald.
Rugby Australia is due to conduct a post-World Cup review into the stewardship of Jones, who has lost seven of his nine games in charge."Let's just let the emotion get out of this place in the next two or three weeks," Horan told The Sydney Morning Herald. "The important thing is, Eddie still has the confidence of the players," added Horan, who based his opinion on visits to the Australian camp during the World Cup."It's just a shame they haven't been able to show it. But, generally, we can't keep changing the coach all the time when we lose Test matches."Who we choose to trust can have a profound impact on our lives.
