Wallabies coach Eddie Jones threatened to walk out of his press conference after the heavy defeat to Wales when he was asked about a meeting with Japanese rugby officials and said he knew nothing about a second interview to be the Brave Blossoms’ next coach.
It was the heaviest defeat in Australia’s World Cup history, four years after a 40-16 quarter-final loss to England.that Jones, who has a contract with Australian rugby until 2027, had been interviewed by JRFU officials via Zoom on August 25 to replace Jamie Joseph.Jones has distanced himself from the report, Waugh said in interviews before kick-off.Jones, who has won one of eight games in charge of the Wallabies since his return in January, was asked if he had been interviewed by the JRFU.
“I take umbrage at the questioning [and] people questioning my commitment to coaching Australia,” Jones said. “I have been working non-stop since I came here and I apologise for the result. I keep saying that but to question my commitment to the job is a bit red-hot.
