“We’re trying to play a different way and the results haven’t been good enough but we do have a long term plan for the World Cup and that’s what we’re here for,” he added. In the French capital, young fly-half Carter Gordon had a difficult game from the tee, wasting 10 points on his fifth Test appearance.“It’s 100 per cent a concern. But all we can do is work with the young kid,” Jones said. “We’ve got young kids in this team and we’re backing them, and he’ll get better.”Eddie Jones, the Wallabies head coach.
