Wallabies coach Eddie Jones has named by Japanese media as the expected successor for the nation’s head coach position.
Like the Wallabies, the Brave Blossoms were sent packing early before coach Jamie Joseph walked away from the role.Rugby Australia CEO Phil Waugh said there was “nothing in” the reports, while Jones said it was “bulls**t and gossip”.has resurrected the speculation, reporting Jones was the leading candidate to take over the Japanese role — despite having signed a five-year deal with Rugby Australia.
“Contract negotiations have been held privately behind the scenes, and preparations are underway for return since the 2015 World Cup, which led them to a historic three wins.”The report added that the Wallabies’ early exit from the World Cup may have diminished the support for Jones. “He denies this, and the Australian Association has also issued a statement supporting his continued participation until the 2027 , raising the possibility that a return to Japan may be a deal-breaker.”
He is married to a Japanese woman, and reportedly has a close relationship with Japan Rugby Football Union president Masato Tsuchida.
