Wales Vs Australia: Coach Eddie Jones's prediction about RWC winner

Posted by World Wide Tickets And Hospitality on February 9th, 2023

New Wallabies trainer Eddie Jones says global rugby union can turn around very quickly, and that after a practically rough period. Australia is one of a handful of odds to win the Rugby World Cup 2023 if they get the next nine months right. Speaking to media after his first week back in control of the national team. Jones debated the challenge ahead for this year's competition, his coaching attitude, the volatility of world rugby and a range of other matters.

Jones said he had spent the week summit staff, watching game tape, speaking to senior players on Zoom and generally hitting the ground consecutively in his new role. Asked if he was permitting himself to think long-term, as far as the chances for the next RWC on home soil in 2027, he answered. The only thing I’m upset about, I’ve got it written here on my board is ‘smash-and-grab'. That’s the only thing at the instant.

If we do well at this year's competition then, there’ll be another mission after that. But as you know in expert sport and professional radio, if you do too many bad talks you’re not on next week! It’s the same in training. If you don’t have too many good games, you’re not going to be there. I'm not looking ahead so far to RWC 2027.

Jones trails Dave Rennie as coach of the Australia Rugby World Cup team

His forerunner won just 13 games out of 34 in charge, but Jones who said Rennie did an enormously good job in difficult situations was optimistic about the future for the side. I think Australian rugby has always been a bit recurrent. We've had some really good ages and we've had some pretty rough periods and I think we've been through a sensibly rough period. But I can see there's a revolving of the tide, he said.

We've got a chairman here at Rugby Australia who's violent, who wants to get on with it. Some are growing in the sport and there's a failure in some areas. We've just got to make sure that at the top level, with Australia we provide some motivation for more kids to play the game. There has been plenty of discussions already about this France Rugby World Cup is wide open, with the chance of a Northern Hemisphere side winning for only the second time ever.

Jones agreed but pointed to the last time the contest was held as a signal of how quickly things can change. The evidence is there. It's like six mounts coming over the rise at Randwick, you get to the top of the increase and some horses start to shorten their stride and others start to lengthen. That's where we're at the instant, Jones said. You look at South Africa in 2019, in 2018 they had a winning ratio of under 40 per cent. By 2019 they win the RWC, which I well remember.

That will be the team holding up the Rugby World Cup 2023

So it's the side that adapts, that learns the most over the next nine months. That will be the side holding up the William Webb Ellis Cup. Jones is a skilled international coach, with stints in charge of Japan, England and support with South Africa as well as Australia. He started in club rugby with Randwick, and he still views the violent style of the 'Galloping Greens" as at the heart of his training.

Rugby's rugby. You've got a set of players, I've got an idea of how I love to play the game, which usually comes from the club you were brought up with, which was Randwick, which was running rugby, he said. But any time you get a new team, you try to measure the players and find out what their strong points are particularly in a national team, where we've only got them for a short era of time.

Then you develop a smartness that suits the players, firstly, then you try to coach them towards your idea. But only if their assets match that philosophy. Jones said it would take him a few months to evaluate the team and work out the stability that was needed before deciding on a captain to take Australia to France for the Rugby World Cup 2023. Asked about the chance of players breaking into the Wallabies line-up in a World Cup year.

Talent hunt for RWC in Super Rugby

Jones said he would be inspecting for talent in Super Rugby, starting with this weekend's Waratahs vs Brumbies trial at Griffith. What I want to see in Super Rugby is performers saying 'pick me! I'm playing that fine you've got to pick me. You'd be foolish not to, he said. What we'd preferably like to have is winning Super Rugby teams, they come in, and they're full of beans.

They've had a good Super Rugby season and want to last that with the Wallabies. 2014 is the last time we won the Super Rugby when it comprised New Zealand, and in 2015 we made the final of the RWC. There's a reason for that, and we want those Super Rugby sides beating the drum, it all starts in the first round.  

Insanely dominant Wales Rugby World Cup 2023 team Gatland will pick

Warren Gatland doesn't have the treat of time as he tries to turn Wales around in time for the RWC. Wales will be fielding a younger team after this autumn's World Cup, but to ask them to gel now would be too initial. That's according to ex-Wales and Lions captain Sam Warburton, who is not guessing wholesale changes to Warren Gatland's Wales team for the tour to Scotland.

Wales was crushed and beaten strongly, particularly in the first half, against Ireland, who is the top-ranked men's side in the realm. Wales next travel to Murrayfield to face an in-form Scottish side who have just noted their third successive Calcutta Cup win over England, this time at Twickenham. While Gatland has form for giving troupes a chance to exchange themselves, Warburton is hesitant about just how much of that gush we will see when it comes to his side selection this week.

He's going to be thinking hard now, he told the media podcast. They normally give them second gambles. I'm not sure they will this while around. He knows what the boys can do, and if they didn't bring against Ireland are they going to do it up in Scotland? I don't know. He said a couple of weeks ago the earlier regime hadn't brought through the young troupes that he was hoping, he was hoping perhaps to inherit a team that's going to be younger.

The team after the France Rugby World Cup 2023

Wales' side by now, I consider, should look along the outlines of, in the last three years, we should be fielding Rhys Carre at loosened, absurdly powerful, Dewi Lake at hooker, ridiculously powerful, Leon Brown at tighthead, insanely powerful, Will Rowlands he's hurt. You're observing them at Adam Beard or Dafydd Jenkins, Christ Tshiunza at No. 6, Jac Morgan at No. 7, Faletau or Wainwright at No. 8. For more know about Wales Rugby World Cup Tickets.

If it's not now, that'll surely be the pack after the RWC. But if he named that pack now to go to Scotland, it's way too soon because they haven't been blooded. That would mean no place in the starting line-up for the likes of Ken Owens, Justin Tipuric, Alun Wyn Jones and Tomas Francis. Wales' current depth trouble reminds Warburton of the 2010 Six Nations.

Highlighting the Scotland game

Highlighting the Scotland game where Shane Williams' try was the climax of an unexpected Test match in Cardiff. Wales national rugby union team had counted 17 points in the last six minutes to turn defeat into an unlikely victory. Wales were at this altering of the guard situation, and that Scotland game where Shane Williams bailed us out at the end.

Wales got fully taken to the cleaners and should never have won that game, Warburton said. I recall from that point, that's when there was a clean sweep, all these young fellas came in, all of us came in. During the autumn campaign, we struggled. In the following Six Nations, we came fourth. This is what I think Welsh fans have to get their skull around, it takes time.
