Some not at all. A pale imitation, like everything else that night, of Wales, who formed a far larger circle out on the pitch with Warren Gatland in their number.<\/p>\n<p>When the two coaches later sat down before the media, you looked for some evidence, amid this terrible adversity, of why Jones likes to position himself in the realm of the world\u2019s great coaches, by referencing his chats with Pep Guardiola and Sir Alex Ferguson.<\/p>\n<p>There was nothing. Just that familiar quicksilver tongue of his, which dazzled English rugby for a while. Along with the thin skin, the self-justification and a nasty little threat to leave the room if there was another question about detailed newspaper reports of him potentially deserting Australia\u2019s ship, like a rat, to take the Japan job. \u2018If you want to continue down that line, I\u2019ll excuse myself. Have you decided what you want to do?\u2019 chirped this classless individual.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/26\/16\/75854855-12562685-image-a-1_1695742389544.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Everything&#8217;s turned sour for Australia head coach Eddie Jones, who once carried such an aura\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/26\/16\/75854845-12562685-image-a-2_1695742393656.jpg\" height=\"426\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Australia are on the verge of a shock World Cup exit after losing 40-6 to Wales last weekend<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/26\/16\/75854847-12562685-image-a-4_1695742528386.jpg\" height=\"425\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The devastated Wallabies formed a huddle (above) after their humiliating World Cup annihilation at the hands of Wales on Sunday, but head coach Jones was nowhere to be seen<\/p>\n<p>He implied that Australia\u2019s shameful defeat by Wales was a product of the hand he had been dealt when he took on his role in January. He has a young squad. They will eventually learn. As if he had no choice but to leave behind openside flanker Michael Cooper and fly-half Quade Cooper \u2014 an example of the shock-and-awe approach he brings to every new role \u2014 and expose untested players on rugby\u2019s greatest stage.<\/p>\n<p>This is the coach who carried such an aura into England eight years ago. Gareth Southgate seemed smitten by his work, though the feeling did not seem terribly mutual.<\/p>\n<p>After the leaden solidity of Stuart Lancaster, Jones\u2019s predecessor, who walked around with a Collins A4 diary under his arm, he seemed a ray of sunshine. I recall his first England press conference, Jones dazzling with wisecracks about Australian convicts, Einstein\u2019s definition of insanity and Prince Harry\u2019s house.<\/p>\n<p>The chaos he brings can be a drug. After he arrived, those who covered England\u2019s summer tour to Australia, which can be a sedentary business, found him threatening his compatriots with a rugby form of Bodyline. There was incredible electricity.<\/p>\n<p>But it is never sustainable with him. Success never lasts for those, like Jones, who only bring sound and fury. After the England honeymoon, it became clear that the team\u2019s rugby just wasn\u2019t that good. He got the show back on the road for the 2019 World Cup but he wasn\u2019t \u2014 never has been \u2014 a coach players will run through walls for, as their protector and guiding light.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/26\/16\/75854841-12562685-image-a-5_1695742678468.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Jones&#8217; quicksilver tongue during press conferences dazzled English rugby for a while as well<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/26\/17\/75856505-12562685-image-a-8_1695744647077.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>King Eddie&#8217;s court has resembled the White House of ex-USA president Donald Trump at times<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/26\/16\/75854839-12562685-image-a-6_1695742748899.jpg\" height=\"398\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The 63-year-old head coach, who was sacked by England in December 2022, endured a woeful run ahead of the tournament &#8211; and Australia haven&#8217;t looked any better on the World Cup stage<\/p>\n<p>The Australian players who trooped through the mixed zone at Stade Lyonnais around midnight on Sunday were all on-message about the learnings they would take. But there was no notion of Jones\u2019s part in that. I did not hear any reference him.<\/p>\n<p>Little wonder. If they had watched their coach\u2019s press conference 10 minutes earlier, they would have heard him detailing their inability to deal with setbacks. On the really bad nights for Manchester United, Ferguson would circle the wagons, defend his boys to the hilt and not give the press one ounce of satisfaction. As Jones held court, his captain, David Porecki, stared ahead implacably, not affording him the remotest glance.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018mind games\u2019 model of coaching Jones employs so implacably \u2014 digging out players through the media, in training sessions or review meetings \u2014 has had its doubters in many of the places he has worked. The words that keep coming back about him and his management style are \u2018brutal\u2019 and \u2018nasty\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/26\/17\/75856915-12562685-image-a-13_1695745568142.jpg\" height=\"328\" width=\"306\"><\/p>\n<p>Mail Sport columnist Ian Herbert<\/p>\n<p>Players desperate to represent their nation just have to live with it. But the revolving door of Jones\u2019s assistant coaches and support staff tells its own story. The court of King Eddie has resembled the Donald Trump White House at times.<\/p>\n<p>Things tend to unravel quickly for the coach who commands no residual affection and that has generally been the pattern with Jones. He was released by Australia in 2005 after losing eight of his final nine games.\u00a0He left Queensland Reds after 92-3 and 96-0 defeats and a Super 14 wooden spoon. He barely lasted a year at Saracens. Jones tends to crash and burn and has had jobs at 11 different teams since 1994.<\/p>\n<p>And now we see him in a role which requires something more than his usual lump hammer. The job of coaxing and nurturing Australian talent for the World Cup the nation is to host four years from now \u2014 in the teeth of rugby union\u2019s struggle to compete with other codes of football in that sports-mad nation.<\/p>\n<p>Though Jones would not see it this way, the cool intelligence of Ireland coach Andy Farrell, whom he rapidly decided on arrival at Twickenham to let go from England\u2019s set-up, showed him up last weekend. Farrell revealed what progressive, modern coaching looks like.<\/p>\n<p>The most striking part of his press conference with Johnny Sexton, after a famous win over South Africa on Saturday, was the way this coach clearly viewed his player as an equal.<\/p>\n<p>Gatland was impressive and wise, too, 24 hours later, as he offered an assessment of how Australian and Welsh rugby union faced similar existential struggles which must somehow be tackled.<\/p>\n<p>The memory strayed to Jones being asked, in his inaugural press conference as England coach, about the importance of developing the nation\u2019s academies and next generation \u2014 something which had always absorbed Lancaster. \u2018I\u2019m not discussing that,\u2019 Jones replied. \u2018I\u2019m a national team coach. I don\u2019t discuss academies.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/26\/16\/75855431-12562685-image-a-7_1695743433158.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Steve Borthwick struggled to carve out results at the start of his tenure as England boss, but his side have performed well in France so far and restored a feel-good factor to English rugby<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/26\/17\/75856589-12562685-image-a-9_1695744869413.jpg\" height=\"357\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Progressive head coach Andy Farrell, meanwhile, oozes a cool intelligence in charge of Ireland<\/p>\n<h2>Neighbourly gesture lifts Aussie fans<\/h2>\n<p>Taking the bus back from Lyon\u2019s stadium in the early hours of Monday, after Wales had hammered Australia, was what I imagine a place in the bass section of the Rhos male voice choir must be like.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Calon Lan, Cwm Rhondda and the old Max Boyce song Duw It\u2019s Hard were all aired.
