Eddie Jones Rumored to Leave the Wallabies After Rugby World Cup Disaster

Eddie Jones, the coach of the Wallabies, is reportedly on the verge of quitting the team following their disappointing performance in the Rugby World Cup. According to reports, there is an exit clause in Jones’s $4.5 million contract that allows him to leave if certain conditions are not met. Additionally, several members of Jones’s staff have been let go by Rugby Australia, indicating a lack of faith in the coach. Despite denying the rumors, it is speculated that Jones may be considering a return to coaching the Japan national team, a role he previously held in 2015. If Jones does decide to trigger the exit clause, it would save Rugby Australia from having to pay out his contract in full. However, Jones has stated that he is fully committed to the Wallabies and believes in the potential of the young players on the team. He did express regret over a controversial press conference before the World Cup, but overall, he remains optimistic about the future of Australian rugby.
