Australia’s top players gathered for a training block ahead of the festive season, and Wallabies stars Angus Bell and Lalakai Foketi expressed concern over the possibility of Eddie Jones being appointed as Japan’s next coach. The pain from the Wallabies’ underwhelming World Cup performance is still fresh, and changes in the coaching staff and leadership have ensued. The players are working hard in preparation for the upcoming games, and are eager to redeem themselves. The departure of Eddie Jones was met with disappointment from many of the players, who respected his work ethic and drive to improve Australian rugby. It remains to be seen who will be the new head coach, and players are hopeful for a good outcome. The players are also looking for improved performance from Australia’s franchises in the Super Rugby league to bolster the overall standard of the game.
