Video. Rugby World Cup 2023 – Eddie Jones: “Whistles? Someone could throw drumsticks and croissants at me!”

Eddie Jones reste Eddie Jones. After Australia’s defeat against Fiji (15-22), the Wallabies coach presented himself at a press conference with a serious desire to put on a show. Asked about the whistles from the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium against his team and himself, the former England boss preferred to smile. “I’m used to it, I deserve it and I deserve even worse. Someone could throw me some extra baguettes and croissants!”

I am building a team for the future

But the Australian grimaced more when receiving criticism from Sonny Bill Williams. The former All Black is now a television consultant and took the liberty of criticizing Jones’ choices at fly-half. Powerful blowback from the Wallabies boss. “Maybe I could become a consultant and go on TV, like him, to always be right? It’s a team for the future and I have no regrets. I’m building a team for the future and that “It’s normal to have difficulty, to have growing pains.”
