We came here with a lot of hope and optimism. Everything is out of our hands. There\u2019s a lot that has probably been declining with Australian rugby for some time, so I think it\u2019s a result of a period where we are slipping more and more.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/02\/13\/76068823-12584297-image-a-1_1696249107776.jpg\" height=\"422\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Eddie Jones will not lose his Wallabies job despite Australia&#8217;s terrible World Cup campaign<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/02\/13\/76068835-12584297-image-a-2_1696249125606.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The Wallabies are on the brink of a humiliating pool stage exit in France<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I\u2019ve been pretty forthright around the fact we are committed to Eddie and he probably looks at the campaign and is bitterly disappointed about his performance and the Wallabies\u2019 performance. It\u2019s a pretty challenging world being a coach and I can understand that. Eddie has made his comments to me that he is committed. I\u2019m not going to find out where conversations are occurring. I take Eddie for his word and he has told us there is nothing to it.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Jones has been on the receiving end of widespread booing throughout the World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>Asked how it made him feel, the head coach went on a tangent about the Television Match Official creating too many breaks in play for frustrated spectators.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It\u2019s a big thing now to boo now,\u2019 said Jones. \u2018At least they know who I am, I suppose. Rugby has been a game based on values and fair play has been one of them. But I think the way we are refereeing the game or the way the game is being refereed is causing crowd problems.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/02\/13\/76069029-12584297-image-a-3_1696250512564.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>But Rugby Australia chief Phil Waugh is backing Jones to develop the nation&#8217;s team<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We\u2019ve got so many stoppages in the game now &#8211; we\u2019ve got a TMO for everything. I\u2019m of the firm opinion that we are destroying the flow of the game. We need to make the referee the sole judge of the game, and if there is something that is an obvious red card, that is foul play, then we go back to that.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We\u2019ve got to keep the game moving, and I think part of it is that the crowd are so discontent with the flow of the game. Our game is not a game of science. It\u2019s not like cycling or rowing. It\u2019s a human game based on the contest for the ball where we\u2019ve got a number of problems in each situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I\u2019ve said this before and it\u2019s fallen on deaf ears but I will keep going because we\u2019ve got to look after the game.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/rugbyunion\/article-12584297\/Eddie-Jones-learns-Wallabies-fate-Rugby-World-Cup-Australia.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eddie Jones learns his Wallabies fate as Rugby Australia makes decision after disastrous World Cup campaign and loyalty row following <span class=\"more-text\">&hellip;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":294738,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
