Go Fiji - great result and nothing less than you deserve - Utter respect from Ireland ☘
Absolutely, same as that, from Ireland.
Same from Oz@@cruisersism
@@Les-vp8sia1aqqqqqqqqqqqqqqàaa
Same from South Africa, Fiji dominated Wales as well, but thanks to World Rugby, Wales were protected.
Same from NZ. Go Fiji go!
as a South African... well done Fiji. this WC is going to give the young Ausie team great experience for the future. Every rugby nation has a time where things dont go their way .... that is a cycle, it wont last forever
21 years without a Bledisloe. 24 years since they won a WC. This Australian sides cycle must be decades long. Even cicadas come to life more often than the Wallabies.
@@hamdoggius its been a long day at the office mate
🤣🤣🤣🤣priceless mate@@hamdoggius
Even after strong-arming the NZRU for 5 teams, what has this achieved for Oz? The Moana Pacific and Drua inclusions were brilliant. The 2 other teams probably should have come from Japan and Argentina.
EXACTLY
Rennie must be laughing his head off right now
Maaaaaate
Low class mate🤦🏾♂️
@@diogeneslantern18
Are you Sadiq khan ?
@@johndonson1603 what? Why?
No Dave Rennie is not that sort of person,
I watch Eddie press conferences for entertainment. I am not disappointed.
Same
And me. I liked him when he was our England coach.
Ditto!
He's hilarious, witty. And said nothing that wasn't true
characterlisticarly??? he mirrored his players start? 😂😂😂
That was a really good game. Thank you Australia for allowing Fijian Drua into the NRC and investing into Oceania Rugby. Respect from Fiji 🇫🇯
Thank NZRU for allowing them into the super rugby scheme 😂😊
@@williamg7138 Of course
They should also be in the Rugby Championship if truth be told 💪
Thanking Australia for turning Fiji into a rugby nation is as fitting as acknowledging England for contributing to the formation of modern-day Australia through the convict settlement.
@@danwaterman4003please explain
Congratulations Fiji. Incredible win. Looking forward to Wales v Oz and ABz v Italy next week. 🏆
Eddie Jones and Australia losing, the media gift that keeps on giving.
Man he’s just from frying pan to fire to forest fire in a firestorm.
He’s killed his legacy and the mystery that is Eddie whilst getting the big bucks. The ARU is going to choke on his contract. 1-6 yikes.
Next he will be jumping into the sun lol@@KallousKiwi
This is why the Wallabies are so emotionally reactive on the field
@@KallousKiwinot sure he’s killed his legacy… two World Cup finals with two different nations, and coaching Japan to the biggest upset in rugby history are no mean feat.
Perhaps those who have killed their reputations are the ARU blazers who paid millions to cut Rennies contract short in favour of a 63 year old whose best days were obviously in the distant past.
Aus may still manage something at this WC, but if the ARU cut Jones they are just repeating the same old mistakes. In any case, Jones will walk away with a juicy pay check for 6 months work.
Another loss and you are gone.😮
Master stroke to have Drua in Super Rugby. Improvement will see them competing in the quarterfinals. Well done Fiji and humble coaches.
We saw it coming with the form in super rugby, the world obviously didn’t lol the way they are talking it up like an upset… fix the reffing in France it’s disgusting and inconsistent
That's what I was saying.... I think adding them helped them alot
@@HerbalTee29the odds had it close, any rugby fan saw it potentially coming.
Rennie should never have been sacked. Pure and simple. Australia Rugby has no more excuses. The excuses are done. Something is fundamentally wrong with Australia’s approach to the game
Yes it's played by posh wankers (and a few south Pacific ring ins) who are happy for it to continue being dominated by posh private school boy wankers.
From the head down
Rennie was doing a great job,,, ARU should have let him take the team to the RWC..
How does a country of Australia’s size lose to a country of Fiji size. We need to pump money into grass roots over the next decade
@@SW-rx2ptthat's the problem. Money. They spend in all the wrong places. They think having a "good" coach of the men's national side will fix union
The Eddie Jones drinking game, take a shot every time he says 'mate' or 'front foot' 😮
Add ‘young team’ to this and you will be walking on your ears before the end of the interview! 😂🥴🍻
Congrats to Fiji. Well deserved win. The loss is not a great surprise, based on the previous results. In my view, the team selection from the beginning is the underlying issue. Quality & experienced players were unfortunately left behind / missed out in the World Cup. Building for 2027 is a cop out, to leave out experienced players...young players need mentors & experienced players. The best players are not at the world cup...
Yep. RA has let a senile old fool pick a terrible squad, and I'm not surprised by this result at all.
No quade cooper
@@AR-bb8sw Lolesio and Cooper are our two best flyhalves, neither are there, but Carter Who is. Go figure.
let alone ice man Foley most accurate goal kicker @@AR-bb8sw
@@regfries8279 madness
Congratulations to Fiji! , my heart goes out to Australia but they will grow and improve. Love from NZ x
OH how much more time do they need , as an Australian , their are times they play good but they just don't place their heart in to it , all the best to Fiji .
Next Aussie coach will be Ian Foster. He may even get an endorsement deal for Foster's Beer.
Australia will grow🤥
@@naizah99 And Wales will be
the deflowerer ....
Yes Fiji!
Never seen him so happy!
He's absolutely fuming. Those players are going to get a hammering next week in training.
@@GamesTribeNowLOL... I know exactly what you mean mate 🤦♂️!
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy!
Hes use to losing now so he doesn't get so fed up.
@@JohnDoe-sw5rj Eddie is a legend. Who gives a f if he's nice.
The good news is Fiji making memories. England and Australia in the same year wow.
Should’ve been Wales too - bar the ref.
@@johnhanson5943 I was thinking this exact comment as I was expanding the comments. But, despite the dubious refereeing, Fiji also mucked up what should have been a done deal try right in the end there.
Thank you Australia for appointing this guy as a Coach ahahhaha, thank you very much.
🙈🤣
😂😊😂😊
Yeah well done Rugby Australia
Eddie is a good man, don't knock him, he remains one of the better coaches.
Only front foot eddie getting is one up his backside from the ARU if he doesnt make the quarters..eddie's goal was the world cup, not the future..
If Australia exit at the pool stages then Michael Hooper can be thankful he dodged a massive bullet...
Yep he would've had to carry this team on his shoulders🙈
It wouldn't have happened with hooper as captain
@@Nat-oj2uc he's not good enough to be on the field anymore
@@LeNoLi.I’ll still take Michael hooper over any no 7 they have right now, I don’t even know who played no 7 today for the wallabies
Youngest Team since 1995!!!! They are ALL professional players with years of playing rugby stop saying they are young players!!!
Eddie's press conferences are a (bonus) entertaining drama by themselves 🤩😂🤩
Fiji 's kicker was incredible and they are contenders to leapfrog into the top tier of Rugby. Australians must now accept we have a developmental side, and we were never in contention for this world cup. 17 penalties lost us the game in the end, but across the board not the best performance from the Wallabies. Eddie Jones had the hard task of trying to salvage something from a hard defeat. We see character and i remain of the opinion Eddie Jones is the best coach by a long margin to manage the Wallabies revival.
Yes! Any side giving up 17 penalties has no business contesting the WC.
They’re ranked 7th in the world they’re already top tier now
based on what evidence is he the best coach? Rennie had far better results.
@@I_am_Romey I dont mean to kiss Eddies ass or anything, but he has led the brumbies to super rugby championships, Australia to a Tri Nations championship and world cup final, South Africa to a RWC win, Japan to the biggest rwc upset of all time against South Africa and England to a Grand slam and RWC Final.
Becoming the coach of the wallabies in the same year of the RWC is an extremely short time, especially when you are trying to fix a team that has been on the decline year by year.
He might be looking at the long term when coaching the wallabies. Despite all this I still dont see him making it past this rwc as coach😂
@@joneh9483 Judging by the time he was brought into the fold, the composition of the team( mostly young players), I think we can safely assume that ARU roped him in for the next world cup.
Eddie Jones: You obviously know more than i do, mate.
Journalist if he had any balls: (sarcastically) no-one knows more than you, Eddie.
Look at the Wallabies player next to him after he said that 10:14 he literally face palms
@@MarkWhippyright ? Sums up sorry state of wallabies
@@MarkWhippyGreat spot.
@@MarkWhippyhilarious that no one knows who the player next to Eddie is. Hooper should never been dropped.
Why is Eddie Jones so rude....look at Jaques Nienaber....he respects people and the media.
He's Australian. This was a ridiculously idiotic question.
@@wernercolyn892 bs has nothing to do with Aussies. He's just a clown
Another loss might just tip Ole Eddie ova the edge
You mistake, being rude with being blunt. Obviously you have no understanding of the two different concepts.
Eddie seems to know everything than what his team should do!
Congratulations Rugby Australian
You got your man, EJ😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Bruh!! Dave Rennie should’ve been coaching this wallabies World Cup team.
Respect to Fiji 🇫🇯 Go get em!!
For sure, Mr Rennie woke up and saw the highlights and laughed his way to make himself a coffee 😂
"We're building a team for the future?" Do your bosses at Rugby Australia know that?😂
Well yeah it's his and McLennan new excuse. McLennan knows he's gonna lose his job if Eddie fails cause ditching Rennie was his idea
Yes they signed him on a 5 year contract a million a year, and they can't fire him. That's why he doesn't care he's trying for 2027. Australia rugby deserve this for stabbing rennie in the back
Yeah I think so, we have been trying to build a good team for about 15 years 🤣
@@joedennehy386 you can fire whoever you want. NY Knicks owner James Dolan was paying about 3 coaches he axed plus his coach at the time.
Australia v Wales & South Africa v Ireland are worthy of attention
As a kiwi, good too see Fiji win, always love when any team beat Australia and England.
All Blacks looking pretty useless at the moment old mate. Might wanna keep your powder dry till your own blokes turn up at the tournament ... Mark M.
The kiwis are finally getting refereed like the rest of us, no more favours no more cheating for you blokes, now you don't look so good, go SA & Ireland hope they wallop you
Curious, why England?
@@redfern03 😂 Aus have done nothing. Won 2 games out of the whole year. Stick the bogan sport of rugby league.
Super entertaining game thanks to two teams going all out ❤ looking forward to next week!
I really feel for Dave Rennie
Thank you Australia for bringing Fiji to this level
It wasn't Australia, your sarcasm is blind.
@@Boomer1156Well said
@@Boomer1156 I think what he’s referring to is the fact the ARU supported the DRUA in bringing them into the NRC and the financial support the DRUA got from the ARU. Without that support and exposure it would be more difficult for Fiji to compete.
@@noworriesimfijian Thankyou, my apologies, my ignorance.
@@Boomer1156 no worries bro all good👍😎
Fully agree!! Having the Drua in super rugby makes a difference
Eddie Jones crowing about how good the Aussies were and well well humbled by a little nation with a big heart.
Fiji will win the World Cup. Maybe not this year. Just about all international teams have great Fijian players. As Fiji rises and these players choose Fiji first this team are World Champs in waiting.
Not really you clearly did not listen to his answers properly, he did not say anything about how good the Aussie team was lol
Delighted that Fiji managed to pull this one out, they had to for the sake of their World Cup participation. They should have won against Wales (some really bad refereeing non-calls against Wales but credit where credit’s due in that Wales managed to escape with the W). Fiji could win the pool thanks to the 2 bonus points they got from the Wales game. For the love of the game it’s awesome that Fiji are now a team to be taken seriously
feel for this guy! its not his faulty for something rugby Australia failed to do in preparing grassroots level for professional rugby
Grass roots was not the issue here, been appointed manager 8 months out of a world cup was.. The only thing that is faulty are these over paid morons that end up being the chairman CEO of the ARU
I don’t know if I agree with you mate. He makes terrible squad selection choices and then pulls the surprise pikachu face when it goes down the shitter like everyone said it would… everyone told him not to keep Carter Gordon at 10 after a terrible debut - bring him if you want but keep lolesio/cooper to offer a more experienced and reliable option. Carter Gordon played awful yet again and I feel sorry for the kid - he’s been dropped in the deep end and is expected to perform. Eddie needs to take a look at himself.
@@kjb6637where is quade cooper😂😂
Just listen to how he answers what is next. It's all "I" and "me". Look at the teams that are thriving, it's all about "we" and "us" as a group and team. I wonder if the team has lost hope in their coach? It seems like the morale is and has been down for a good couple of months now. Just my observation. As a SAFFA, I feel for the Ausies man. I know they will bounce back to return to their former glory. They have a passionate nation behind them. I just don't know if it will be under EJ.
Finally saffa who doesn't say they respect Eddie lol
Typical chippy Jones. You can sense the reporters are weary of how they frame their questions because of his beligerence. Having that stat about the age of the finishing team says a lot about him, gets his excuses ready before and after the match. He sees these pressers as an affront to his "superior" rugby intelligence.
He’s an arrogant prick who takes no accountability for how bad we played. Someone needs to yell at him
Eddie "maybe I should be a commentator" I would slap my coach on the spot😂
Actually Rennie was doing well, a couple of close losses to big teams like France and Ireland made his stats look far worse then they actually were. The only reason they lost by a point to Italy was that Donaldson missed a conversion that an under 16 schoolboy regularly puts over. The sacking of Rennie by Hamish McLennan was devastating for the continuity and morale the rebuilding project. McLennan is the real architect of this disaster.
💯%
Well said, couldn't agree more, they also had us kiwi's on toast, just needed to kick it out
Good thing clueless McLennan gonna get a boot along with Eddie after wc
Agree completely.
Yep spot on,
Thought the same even when everyone was carrying on a couple months ago on how Eddie was going to save AUS rugby.
I was glad to see EJ go back to Ozz after a disappointing 3 years coaching us. But let’s be honest Fiji are like 15 Lomus. Amazing.
Richly deserved victory, and I’m super happy for them…but let’s not forget the victory was essentially from penalty kicks, and those 18 penalties were often from poor discipline
@@ronanrogers4127so you are saying that Fiji didn't deserve that victory? England scored all their points through penalties and drop goals without scoring a try. Does that mean England doesn't deserve that victory against Argentina
Well done Australia you guys played well and Congrats to Fiji.....The love of rugby ❤❤❤
Congratulations Fiji.
The last time Fiji beat the Wallabies,, none of these players were born at that time..
The people who appointed Eddie as coach, sacking Rennie should take FULL responsibility.
What if the results still the same with Rennie?😊
For what you block head ?
Fijiis kiicker spot on wooop wooop...when it counted he was there ..awesome fiji 🇫🇯
I'd say it count to try deney Aussie the bonus at the end bugger
Eddie is a world class coach. Anyone who says otherwise is being disrespectful and knows nothing about rugby history and what he’s achieved in domestic rugby and with Aus, Japan and Eng. Hope Aus do well and do themselves justice. Greetings and best wishes from an Englishman.
🤣🤣 more Eddie Jones 🤡 excuses, you got totally outplayed by Fiji
😅😂😅😂😅
Thanks for sorting the audio out. Great quality video.
I am English, i am confident Australia will turn it around. Eddie is a fantastic coach and did England many decent jobs. ❤️ greets from London
He was dreadful for England, glad we finally gave him the boot
Dont panic boys let's focused on the next game. Go the wallabies". 🇦🇺
I love Australia, but what Eddie said about Ireland a few years ago. Just desserts.😊
What did he say?
@@jc15394 a tongue in cheek remark that some small minded, humourless snowflakes could not handle.
Ireland's Under 20s would probably beat this Australian team to be honest.
@@carldunne9322 I Don't think so. Australia has belief, Ireland not as yet. Let's see. Let's enjoy the sport.
@@simonjeffs75Jones constantly putting his foot in his mouth, not a great look for a head coach representing his country.
Come on Wales!!!
Great win for Fiji 🇫🇯 🎉 but as an 🇦🇺 fan this is a new low. To come into a World Cup with 5 straight loses and a squad that lacks depth, experience and exposure is a complete failure in both leadership and management. 4 years to build and invest for this. The players should really Jane some time looking in the mirror. Because they simply look like they don't want it and arnt even on the same level as the top sides, it's heart breaking for passionate wallabies faithful.
Horrible result for rugby across Australia and the future of the game is on a knife edge.
As an Englishman living in Australia, I do love Eddie
we celebrate fiji rugby their people and their rugby
Eddie’s ability to avoid questions is on par with some politicians, that Skelton discussion was a classic, now finding out that Skelton won’t play next week as well which is arguably more important.
Well, David Campese is going to be proven right.
how so? I don't know the situation
Campo said it was a big mistake to have selected Eddie Jones to be the coach
It's not the coaching. It's the general administration of the game. Same with England. There's a massive disconnect between grass roots and the professional game and how the funds are allocated.
Thank you Eddie for your honest opinion and honest comments, I personally appreciate that
I had to go back and rewatch some of the 1997 - 2000 era games after this to remind myself it wasn't a dream, Australia was good at football once. Very happy for Fiji. Going on near 15 years of disappointment with Australia.
Thank You Australia.
You have a Young Team.
We wish your team the very best for your next match.
Love from Fiji 🇫🇯🤍🖤💙
Im welsh. Im a rugby lover before anything, amazing game today, most professional and organised I've seen them. I understand rhe pressure on Australia, to a point, its very much like the England Rugby complex where they are just expected to win every game. World rugby has changed over recent years, theres far more challenging teams even from your lower tier nations that on their day can really push the top teams.
Eddie is looking forward to Wales as if it is a given, as a Welsh patriot i am looking forward to that....
Not a fan of Eddie but what I can say is he was smart taking this team to the WC. He knows there was no way they were going to win this WC even with some senior players he left out the squad. But what he's doing is giving these guys the experience. Aus have a very young team. Watch them at the next WC. Even before that. Give these guys two years and they are going to be a force to he reckoned with. This coming from a Bok fan. So I see Eddie long term vision. Just not sure if he will be there.
😂should have seen this 4 years ago, so players peak during the world cup...excuses.
@ananiabaleimatuku1508 clearly you can't read.
@subchan6595 you think so? I'm not a fan of the half back pairing but think you have some amazing loose forwards. Wings are sorted as well.
Yeah these WC are just sprung on us without warning and time to prepare -- the wc should be held at regular scheduled intervals so we can prepare for them
😂😂
Good old Eddie keep the answers short and sweet. Eddie deserves huge respect
Never underestimate the pacific teams.
Are wales gonna abeat the wallabies then?
They didn’t, they were ranked higher than Australia before the match.
@@givesy123No you wrong. Australia is leading Wales and Fiji in the 7th position. Wales was 8th and Fiji 9th position before Australia and Fiji match.
I dont think we underestimated Fiji, we knew it would be a hard match. The Wallabies are just not a good team, havent been good for a long time.
Oceanian 😍😍😘😘
Did the bloke from the Telegraph turn up?
his answers are quite petulant, blunt to the point of being rude just for the sake of it. if the plan is the nest world cup okay, but im not sure the aussie board will wait that long to see improvement?
Eddy always looks like he has had a few during the game .. gotta love his straight forward approach
I only have one question for Eddie- what car is driving now?
South African here. I know Eddy’s been called a charlatan and whatnot but I reckon thus slump Australia have been through will bring them back to form. South African rugby went through a bit of a dark patch which galvanised the new SA rugby team who I think are now pretty unstoppable. I wish the Aussies the same redemption because the game is better when there is a formidable Aussie team in the mix. I hate to see rugby union lose a bit of steam. The fans deserve world class and I hope this World Cup propels teams to come out of tier 2 status
Eddie “Still Building” Jones
Let's talk about the state of Rugby in Australia for a second. I think Rugby is a lost cause now in Australia, i would love to be convinced otherwise. I think where the money has gone and been pumped into for so long and now being more or less dried up has left us with irreversible damage. Look at how many registered Rugby players there are in Aus. It's pathetic for a country that's bigger than most of our competition. The real issues are how ARU has been run for so long, pumping money into all the wrong places, Rugby is probably Aus's 5th or 6th sport now, the 5 team system in the Super League, the privatization of the competition not making it easily accessible to the working class, and that most Private school kids are more ambitious in life than playing for the wallabies. Essentially the strategy for ages has been recruit the best Islander talent because all top athletic Aussie talent goes to NRL and AFL. Long story short these are your obstacles to overcome and I don't think our culture cares enough anymore. I remember the early 2000s every one was so geeed up for the Wallabies and it was everywhere. I only know a few people who are truly invested in the World Cup right now! This with the pace at which the so called tier 2 (which I would argue Aus are in now) are catching up tell me that it that we are now seeing the fully realised death of Australian Rugby. I'm super sad about this coming from Canberra, the home of our best domestic team that can still stick it to the kiwis. The Eddie Jones signing just screams of desperation and since we got him we have won 1/9 games including losses to Argentina and now Fiji. How can anyone possibly say that's ok.
Spot on. I’m a die hard nrl supporter but everyone supports national teams no matter the sport or rivalry. Look at the Matilda’s. The Aussie public is just burnt out from disappointment with the wallabies. So many performances that feel like they let the jersey down and you don’t feel proud of. It all starts at the top, and it feels like the old boys club just hasn’t adapted the game from the grassroots up. AFL and NRL have built a fantastic product but it’s because the talent coming through is so well developed that we have superstars at every age group in the game, and the competition is competitive across the board. Not sure how to fix Union but all I can say is I’m glad I didn’t waste 80mins watching that game, compared to the nrl finals which has been phenomenal watching. 🤷🏼
Well done..Wallabies
Regroup and move on to next game.. "Do or Die" next week..🙌
Porecki looks sick.
eddies press conferences are such a highlight for me
Love him or hate him, Eddie is probably the most brutally honest person you'd ever get in media interviews!!!
The sarcasm you'll receive if you try to be a smart ass with some of the obvious dump questions is deadly funny 😂😂
From Fiji, I hope this young Wallaby side go through with a huge W over Wales with a bonus poing too!!!!!
All the best Wallabies in the rest of your RWC tour ❤
a message to eddie jones.
you are there to WIN a world cup not to DEVELOP a australian team for the FUTURE....!
dave rennie had australia on track to have australia as a serious contender.
It's a shame to see australia rugby taking a knock but ot is a young team and can only go up in the long run
Come on wales!!!
They've been saying that for 2 decades. 😂
Sneaky quick throw in try by Australia So pleased Fiji won 🏆
Well done Fiji. I really hope Fiji kick on and continue to improve as we need some more stronger sides down here in the southern hemisphere to catch back up to the northern sides. It doesn’t help with Australia getting weaker every year. I was really hoping Japan was going to give us the answer for more competition but they have regressed since the last RWC.
To be fair to Japan they didn't really play at all in 2020, set them back quite a bit but not really their fault.
Japan didn't play any test matches during COVID, hence the regress. Hope they can pull up again and retain their form.
Can’t wait for that Eddie press conference after they lose to Wales next week🤣
As a Fijian. Jones done a lot of good works for wallabies b4. I think wallabies needs some new faces. I take my hat off sliper on his age. That is telling me that they needs a new faces. Im so proud of him because he's still there. Pacific islanders needs a coach like Jones but we don't have money to afford him. Tell you what, Jones will be good coaching my pacific team because we have so many good talents around there. To be honest, i don't see any good players like in the old Wally's like tim horran and others. Thats why his struggling to pick his team. They got more good players in rugby league but less in rugby union. Please don't put me wrong.
Very good point
Australia is a shambles.......A shadow of its former self. We used to take it up to the top nations because we were a top nation, now we can't even beat 2nd string nations. Well done Fiji, you deserve the win.
Why is he always so rude
its a shame for autralia it makes us look stupid im sorry he is so rude
Rennie was making progress. Wasting money, time and opportunity. EJ has had his day. That was clear when he was at England since 2019. He’s a fine-tuner - not a developer.
love or hate him, Eddie Jones keeps it real and takes any criticism head on. Congrats to Fiji though great game!
Tough day at the office and media post conference. Good luck to Eddie and the team next week - have faith this pain will help Aussie rugby in the long run.
dear oh dear, what a sorry state the game is in when this can happen. well done fiji, better luck next game wallabys
brilliant .. so good to see Fiji get up.. Well done Fiji! Good to see Jones pay tribute to a great team.
Complete EJ failed experiment with the makeshift untested uncohesive backline in final 30 minutes... hey lets put a rookie 15 at 10 together with a rookie 9 and lets put a young 14 at 15 ... but keep on a 13 who is clearly having a poor game. Genius Eddie! From an Aussie
😅😂😅😂😅😂
Good win Fiji,,, Australia just seem to be taking 3 steps back everytime Eddie says were taking a step forward... Perhaps we should take him up on his offer and make him a TV commentator... Bring him back in the future for that future team....
Eddie's got the media walking on eggshells😂
the media has Eddie walking on eggshells
Happy for Fiji but is this Eddie Jones coached Wallaby team the worst ever in the modern professional era?
Eddie is just earning money for jam
Hooper should be in the team. They need a leader in time like this
Respect to Eddy Jones for taking this one on the chin. He stayed until all had asked their questions and did not escape an uncomfortable moment, Probably will draw energy from that. And of course, congratulations to Fiji for an exciting performance.
Can’t wait for the est of this pool games! Good luck to all.
This drop in rugby for AUS is when they brought in politics and sacked Israel Folau for standing up for what he believes in. Go 🇫🇯 FIJI
I agree. They sided with the corporate WOKE agenda. Good luck to em...sell outs to the beast system.
As disappointing as the loss was, I thought Eddie's responses to questions posed was excellent, especially when he invited further questions.
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahaha
Hahahahaha. That’s all I have to say about Eddie Jones
Fiji have simply been incredible. Technically should have won both games so far, not just the one.
As an Aussie I was rooting for Fiji the whole team. Australia done everything they can to kill the game at home and they deserve what they get
Australia Done!! your right with that!!
So easy to criticize. Eddie's first stint coaching the Wallabies was between 2001-2005 where he coached them to successful Bledisloe Cup games and a Rugby World Cup final.
Don't be a smart arse Eddie.😂
