Eddie Jones, despite his previous commitment to Australian rugby, has decided to leave his five-year deal after less than a year, leaving behind a chaotic situation. Former Wallabies assistants Dan McKellar and Stephen Larkham are potential replacements for Jones.
Despite declaring his commitment to Australian rugby multiple times during and after his team’s World Cup disaster in France, Jones is walking away from his five-year deal after less than 12 months, leaving “rubble” behind him according to Burke.
Burke, who played 81 Tests for the Wallabies, implored RA to “move on” from former coach Michael Cheika, who took Argentina to the World Cp semi-finals, declaring he was not the right man for the current fracture situation the sport finds itself in.“Do they look at someone like Stephen Larkham? He had a stint under Cheika in 2015. Is he mature enough to make that switch? It certainly has to be an Australian.
From poor World Cup selections to “erratic” decision making, Jones had left the sport in a worse spot than when he took over, Burke said.“Maybe it’s better for Australian rugby. Jones was always going to come out and say he didn’t get the resources, but in hindsight when we look back it wasn’t the right choice.
