Rugby Australia has doubled down on backing coach Eddie Jones while the Wallabies are on the brink of missing the Rugby World Cup quarterfinals for the first time.
CEO Phil Waugh also criticized Jones for partly excusing their results as preparation for the 2027 Rugby World Cup, which Australia will stage.
He insisted the Wallabies could win the Rugby World Cup even after losing to Fiji for the first time in 69 years. But then they lost to Wales 40-6, their heaviest defeat in Rugby World Cup history and worst loss to Wales. The Wallabies’ quarterfinal hopes are hanging by a slim thread. Fiji will knock them out on Sunday if they beat Portugal, or take one point at least. The Wallabies have to stay in France, at least until they know the outcome on Sunday night.
“I think selection is something that is always debatable and hindsight is a wonderful thing,” Waugh said. “The performances certainly weren’t at a level they needed to be when you come to a World Cup. Jones has said he deliberately picked a young squad because he wanted to rebuild in France rather than after the tournament, but Waugh said he didn’t want to hear about 2027 in the 2023 tournament.
