Sometimes you have to eat s*** for others to eat caviar further down the track.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>It is expected the 63-year-old will now return to join Japan.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018What a pathetic thing to say,\u2019 MailSport columnist and England\u2019s 2003 World Cup-winning coach Sir Clive Woodward said of Jones\u2019 public comments when confirming his Australia departure. \u2018Every Australian I have spoken with is just shaking their head over the whole situation. But this outburst and especially Jones\u2019 language has just poured oil on the flames.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It is really embarrassing for Rugby Australia and I would be very surprised if the Japanese Rugby Union would allow or condone this type of behaviour.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/29\/14\/77143687-12685585-image-a-30_1698590839583.jpg\" height=\"484\" width=\"306\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/29\/14\/77143685-12685585-image-m-29_1698590829850.jpg\" height=\"484\" width=\"306\"><\/p>\n<p>Sir Clive Woodward (left) has slammed Eddie Jones&#8217;s &#8216;pathetic&#8217; language<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/29\/14\/77143691-12685585-image-a-31_1698590845503.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Jones likened coaching the Australian team to &#8216;eating s***&#8217; after announcing his resignation<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Jones is coaching the Barbarians \u2013 a side with great standards and tradition \u2013 this weekend and I am sure the last thing they would want to be associated with is stuff like this.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The real loser in all this is Dave Rennie who I thought was very harshly sacked to make room for Jones. Now, less than a year later, Australia are back to square one.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018In fact, they are in a far worse position than square one! Rugby Australia owe Rennie a real apology.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Former England boss Jones returned to the southern hemisphere in January after being sacked by the RFU last year.<\/p>\n<p>But his second stint with the Wallabies has been littered with poor on-field returns and off-pitch controversy.<\/p>\n<p>Jones\u2019 side became the first in Australian history not to make the quarter-finals of the World Cup at this year\u2019s tournament in France.<\/p>\n<p>He won just two of nine Tests in charge, beating only minnows Georgia and Portugal.<\/p>\n<p>Jones has been heavily linked with a return to Japan and although he has constantly denied that being the case, a move back to the Far East now looks close to inevitable.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I\u2019m so p***** off with the situation. I\u2019m really p*****off with what has happened,\u2019 Jones said.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I take responsibility for the bad results. But I don\u2019t take responsibility for 20 years of decline of Australian rugby and that\u2019s what\u2019s trying to be pinned on me.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Jones\u2019 decision to quit is of huge embarrassment to Rugby Australia and chairman Hamish McLennan.<\/p>\n<p>Jones quickly replaced Rennie as Wallaby head coach after his England departure. Rennie was discarded in favour of Jones who signed a deal to 2027.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/29\/14\/77143693-12685585-image-a-32_1698590867249.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Woodward also said Rugby Australia are worse than &#8216;back to square one&#8217; now<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/29\/14\/77143883-12685585-image-a-33_1698590873935.jpg\" height=\"420\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>He believes rugby bosses owe Jones&#8217;s predecessor, Dave Rennie, an apology<\/p>\n<p>He was expected to lead Australia against the touring British &amp; Irish Lions in 2025 and at a home World Cup two years later.<\/p>\n<p>But that won\u2019t happen now.
