It&#8217;s tough. Eddie Jones has to make a call whether he wants to commit to this team.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I was in the dressing shed a couple of weeks ago with the team and the players seem to like Eddie Jones, they like the direction that he&#8217;s trying to take this team.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;But they&#8217;ve got to take a lot of responsibility as well.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The champion inside centre is also adamant former Wallabies assistant Dan McKellar is the obvious successor for Jones.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Dan was with the Brumbies for about five or six years, but he&#8217;s signed to Leicester over in the UK. He&#8217;s only just started that agreement,&#8217; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;So you&#8217;d have to try and find a way to actually get him out of that agreement. He&#8217;s the best coach, but time will tell.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Probably the next two or three weeks, we&#8217;ll know what Eddie Jones is going to do. Is he going to commit or not?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Jones still has four years remaining on his Rugby Australia contract, which is supposed to run until the end of 2027.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/rugbyunion\/article-12625517\/Eddie-Jones-pledges-commitment-Australia-Wallabies-legend-appointed-successor-disastrous-Rugby-World-Cup-campaign.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eddie Jones pledges his commitment to Australia but a Wallabies legend has already appointed his successor after disastrous Rugby World Cup campaign Eddie Jones has denied speculation he will quit as Wallabies coach Reported interest from Japan, who Jones has coached previously Wallabies legend Tim Horan wants\u00a0Dan McKellar to coach Australia Eddie Jones has declared&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":294053,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
