Eddie Jones faced embarrassment at the Rugby World Cup when Australia suffered a resounding 40-6 defeat to Wales in Pool D.
The former England coach had expressed unwavering confidence in his team’s prospects leading up to the match, stating that he had “no doubt” they would emerge victorious.
When asked about the basis for his optimism, especially considering his team’s performance record since his return as coach in January, the 63-year-old provided this explanation:
“We’re well-prepared, and I’ve witnessed the players’ remarkable resilience following the Fiji game. It’s a matter of choice whether you embrace the challenge, continue to work tirelessly, and strive for improvement, and that’s precisely what I’ve observed from our players.”
Commenting on his latest interview, one fan commented: “A series of errors that went on for 80 mins. Dreadful performance by Australia.”
A second commented: “Is he watching the same game?! It looked like they were never in this other than during the national anthems!”
