Well done Wales,goodbye Eddie! Let’s hope The Lions tour isn’t too tempting for McKellar,personally if it was me and I was offered the job I’d take it. Coaching a team against The Lions is the pinnacle of coaching ,watch this space!

welp, safe to say this had very little impact in the end, demolition job by Wales, how can Eddie survive this?
He won’t!

Desperate times for Aussie RU. I understand that it's a long way behind Cricket, RL, Aussie rules. How far behind soccer and tennis too ???

Why would Japan want EJ now. He's not a good coach anymore.

Australian rugby has been in a bad state for quite a while...........only 6 wins in the last 23 games apparently

I’ve never seen an Australian team looking so devoid of attacking ideas and lacking in basic skills. Looks like England will probably be playing Fiji in the quarters now which is going to be a hard game.

Tight game but would hope England will have enough now they’ve found some form. Wales v Argentina will be a close call too. Argentina have to find some form eventually

Very tough game,especially now Fiji have added the nuts and bolts to their game. Need to step up another level again

I suspect that Jones will be going nowhere unless he walks to take another job.

He was, if i recall, given a long term contract and there is no way that the Australian union pay that out in full.

Just listening to the post match interviews yesterday, it all came across as 'I may not be good enough but I am not going to walk away or say anything stupid enough to give you grounds for dismissal'.

If the Oz RFU gave him a contract without a group stage elimination break clause then I don’t know what to say!

Sadly the rugby authorities are not exactly known globally for their skill and wisdom when handing out contracts.
