Jones resigned as Australia’s head coach at the end of October in the wake of the Wallabies’ worst Rugby World Cup campaign, where losses to Fiji and Wales saw the 1991 and 1999 champions exit at the pool stage for the first time. Jones will be a replacement for his successor Jamie Joseph, who led Japan’s Brave Blossoms to the World Cup quarter-finals on home soil in 2019 and a pool-stage exit in France. After being sacked by England last December, Jones returned home in January for his second stint as Australia’s coach after leading the Wallabies to the 2003 World Cup final in the first. Jones immediately said Australia would claim a third World Cup triumph in France, an assertion that looked laughable after the Wallabies lost all five of their test matches in the run-up to the tournament.
