Eddie Jones confirms he's finishing up at England after RWC2023

@mariner4life And then he was fired by Australia in 2005 after losing 8 out of 9.
He is a very good coach, but he is absolutely outstanding at self-promotion.

@pakman Maria Sharapova's strong start was ruined by two major shoulder injuries. After the second of which she still battled back to #1 won another title to complete a career Grand Slam and an Olympic silver medal. She then suffered another (3rd) shoulder injury came back again and won her second French Open and made the Final of the Aussie Open.
then she picked up her drugs ban and more injuries. she was in the top 30 as recently as 2018. She then had more injuries struggled on for another 12 months and finally called it quits last year.
I know what you were trying to say but Maria Sharapova is almost the antithesis of the point you were trying to make. Yes she was a babe and maximised her earning potential as a result but ultimately she was a hard working and talented player who made it to number one 5 times and is only a handful of women to complete a career slam despite all the injuries. In an era dominated by the bludgeoning power of Serena Williams she still collected 5 Slams and Olympic Medal, a Fed Cup and is the 3rd highest money winner of all time. A real under-achiever!

Eddie's points were good points well made.
Hasn't stopped him being called sexist though by the wokerati.
Some B-List tennis feminist lambasted Jones for suggesting Radacunu's off-court activities were having a impact on her performance and claiming "that sort of thing is never said about male sportsmen". Which is bloody funny when Jones was making exactly the same point about Marcus Smith
Who's the B list tennis feminist?
Jo Durie

Would be great if we can knock them out of the RWC. Give him a good going away present.
ah, we're not real good at knocking his teams out of anything
He would rather knock the ABs out of the next RWC than actually win the thing.

Honestly, ppl are far too precious these days. I think this was manufactured outrage so Jo could have another 15 mins in the sun piggy backing on Raducanu. Also, Raducanu is now a UK media darling. You're not allowed to criticise her at all.

How many games has Eddie Jones coached against ABs and how many wins does he have? He has 2 major wins in SFs. Pretty good going. But outside of that?

RWC2019 was one SF win, what was the other?

Was thinking this morning about Eddie and his successes, and tying it back to my World Cup articles, and realistically his successes have been few and far between.
In said article for 2003 I said it was his greatest moment, kinda updated it for 2015 Jp v SA, and will throw in 2019. But he really doesn't have much in the way of sustained success. Does he? Or am I missing something?
Seems he can nail a big one-off. But long term? ... not sure

The 2001 and 02 Bledisloe wins against us still irk. I think Eddie broke the Wallabies Carisbrook hoodoo in one of those years.

Wasn't Japan kind of longterm?

But outside of England, you may have a point about Jones capabilities.

@booboo England won their first 17 Tests in a row in 2016 and 2017 under Eddie that was a superb achievement. They lost 5 in a row between February and June 2018 and slipped from 2nd to 6th in the World rankings.
He has a slightly worse than 50% record against the ABs which is much better than most international coaches and has won 7 out of 7 against Australia as England coach which suggests he is bloody good at stopping Antipodean sides from playing their fluent, expansive game. That said, he only has a 50% record as England coach against Scotland, a 50% record against South Africa and a 63% record against Ireland. I suspect the way to beat Eddie's teams is to play for territory and look to bully them on set piece if you can.

Very much riding on Rod Macqueen's coattails at that time (and beforehand at the Brumbies)

I've said this a few times here but I will say it again - Eddie is a very good "analyst" in that he kind clearly work out how a particular teams plays, its strengths and weakness, and the put together a game plan to defeat that team in a one-off match. But I don't know how he goes in building a style of play, or identity, for a team. From the outside looking in, he looks like a bit of the anti-ABs, where their focus is almost entirely inwards, whereas his is very outwards. You could almost see it in the way his team played in the RWC final - it was not just the come down from the week before that was evident, it was also that they didn't really look like they knew what they wanted to do in the same way they did the week before.

Club v Country.
Development of combinations is more difficult when the talent is spread so widely across the pro circuit. Historically, the club scene has not prepared players well for Test rugby because owners don't give a fuck about anything but their own results.But outside of England, you may have a point about Jones capabilities.
I think definitely he's the guy who can come in and develop improvement, but the longevity of those methods is the question.
His book is interesting reading.
