“At what point does the focus turn on the people who make the appointments in the first place? 6-8 months before a World Cup, Rugby AU’s leadership lose faith in the current coach. These tweets aren’t about my thoughts on who or who shouldn’t be the man in charge. Need a Bledisloe Cup (within 2 years) and RWC Semi and Lions win to justify the decision. “It is a major coup for Australian rugby to have the best coach in the world return home to coach the iconic Wallabies and to oversee the Wallaroos program,” said McLennan. “It is a wonderful opportunity for me to be able to come home to Australia and lead my nation to a Rugby World Cup,” said Jones.

Hopefully by the beginning of March, mid-March we cqn get the boots back on and get back out there." The Welsh region have moved to third in Pool B of the Challenge Cup. The centre has been out of action since October after sustaining a bad hamstring injury playing for the Welsh region against the Stormers. But we are not a finished product and are working really hard to get better each week – for a large part of the season we have put in performances that we can be proud of. “That was the theory, a bit of madness really. We try to make a game of it all the way to the end of it.” “The whole of South African rugby is built on a strong set piece and we know they are strong in that area. Jones, who led the Wallabies to a World Cup final in 2003, said: “It is a wonderful opportunity for me to be able to come home to Australia and lead my nation to a Rugby World Cup. “If we took the three, it was more likely they were going to come back down and we hadn’t been defending well,” he said. “The Wallabies squad is a really talented group of players with good depth. In terms of inclusions, Dragons prop Chris Coleman is the surprise pick. It's a quick return to rugby for the 62-year-old, who was sacked by the RFU late last year after a poor autumn campaign.

Jones will also oversee the Wallaroos program as part of Rugby Australia’s bid to enhance the professionalism of the women’s game in the country with RA Chairman Hamish McLennan saying: “It is a major coup for Australian Rugby to have the best coach in the world return home to coach the iconic Wallabies and to oversee the Wallaroos program. “It is going to be an immense period for Australian rugby – as a proud Australian, it is a great honour to be able to come home and lead the national team during these years. Jones said: “It is a wonderful opportunity for me to be able to come home to Australia and lead my nation to a Rugby World Cup.

After seven years in the England top job, Eddie Jones will be head coach of his native Australia ahead of the Rugby World Cup this year.

It was one of the biggest news stories of our time - and it's still not over. With fresh revelations from our Number 10 sources, in their own words, listen to the inside story... He will also oversee the women’s team, the Wallaroos, and is set to start with Rugby Australia on January 29. He tweeted: “Maybe a risk worth taking considering the Wallabies current win/loss ratio,” the two-time centre tweeted. Horan’s fellow 1991 World Cup winner Simon Poidevin supported the move. 2023 they sack Rennie.

Once again we'll see the Eddie Jones Wallabies, as the veteran coach takes over the Test side he last coached in 2005 – with Dave Rennie axed.

For all the fears we were too close to a World Cup for major sides to wield the axe, we have now seen England, Wales and Australia change their head coaches. “The team has made progress but we need to develop a harder edge. The 59-year-old New Zealander, Rennie, is now a free agent again. The 62-year-old coach is contracted through two [Rugby World Cups](https://www.rugbyworld.com/tournaments/rugby-world-cup) and a British & Irish Lions tour. Talking to the We had to take advantage of that.

The RFU lost patience with the Australian but he is back in his natural habitat and will be lying in wait come the World Cup.

Suddenly Jones is back on fury road, not just looming large across England’s windshield but also set to lock horns with the British & Irish Lions who are due to tour Australia in 2025. As far as Twickenham is concerned, Jones may be out of sight but no longer is he out of mind. In a ground-breaking development he is also assuming overall charge of the Wallaroos, Australia’s women’s side, opening up another fascinating front with the potential to irritate his former employees. With England there was often a sense of Jones wrestling with slightly unfamiliar cultural factors – English reserve, the class system, public school attitudes, the less easily controlled media. Jones will need to find himself a fit fly-half and a decent physio, with injury problems having decimated the Wallabies over the latter half of last year. Because Jones, without question, will be on a mission to prove a lot of people wrong. For all his impressive World Cup CV – reaching the final with Australia in 2003, helping South Africa triumph as a consultant in 2007 – he has never guided a team to global glory as a head coach. If a genuine crackle of expectancy did not already surround the quarter-final weekend in Marseille it does now. How mellow he will be feeling if Australia are suddenly transformed while England take time to adjust to life under Borthwick and finish down the Six Nations batting order again could yet be another matter. Imagine if the Wallabies end up facing England in the knockout stages of this year’s Rugby World Cup? Because if the Rugby Football Union thought it had seen the back of Eddie it has been proved spectacularly wrong. As anyone who has ever watched it will be aware there is a particularly scary moment when Wez, the baddie with the punk mohawk who everyone thought was history, suddenly reappears on the bonnet of the road warrior’s thundering truck.

Eddie Jones is the right choice to "win back the hearts and minds of the rugby public" in Australia, says BBC rugby union correspondent Chris Jones.

England are almost certain to meet one of the other two in the quarter-finals. But whether this is a success or a failure, and Australian rugby luminaries such as the great Tim Horan have highlighted the risk, it is exactly what rugby union in Australia needs as it looks to win back the hearts and minds of the rugby public. But Jones won't find it easy.

Eddie Jones' return to the Wallabies dugout may provide rugby in Australia – and the entire sport – the boost it desperately needs.

By both making the Wallabies competitive enough to win a series and given his ability to command the narrative through the occasional verbal grenade, the Lions tour suddenly becomes a lot more interesting. A once-in-a-lifetime chance to properly lead his country against a Lions side containing a number of players whose careers he helped to develop – and equally whose strengths and weaknesses he knows well – until he was given the boot by the RFU in December. The news does make you wonder what a Lions tour would have been like with Jones in charge, a prospect which now seems close to impossible given his new role. But among those loudly rejoicing at the news that [Jones is returning home to coach the Wallabies](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/2023/01/15/eddie-jones-unveiled-new-australia-coach/) would have been the ticketing and marketing departments of Rugby Australia, already dreaming of a lucrative series with the British and Irish Lions in 2025. Who knows what shape the Wallabies will be in by the time Australia face Warren Gatland’s Wales in that crunch Pool C game in Marseille later this year. Jones’ return is a blockbuster move at a time when the game in Australia could welcome a jolt.

Now, with Scotland due at Twickenham in 19 days’ time, Borthwick bids to translate the best of the Premiership into a cohesive and committed England side. The last of these is the clearest indication of a desire to tap into Evans’ methods – as well as the most successful traits of Saracens and Leicester Tigers – and would seem to underline a desire for speed among the pack.

“Eddie and I genuinely believe we can give the Rugby World Cup a red-hot go later this year.” His global knowledge of the game and our opposing sides is second to none. “There is no way I wanted someone like Eddie to go to one of my big competitors. England supporters will no doubt be alarmed that Jones, who has spent the last seven years in charge at Twickenham, and the last three planning for the World Cup in France, will now be able to share his intellectual property with one of Borthwick’s side’s closest rivals. “We are great friends with the guys from the RFU,” McLennan told Telegraph Sport. There was a surprise within Rugby Australia at his refusal to work with Jones and McLennan received the unanimous support of his board to pursue the appointment of the Australian.
