Sky Sports News' Eleanor Roper explains why Eddie Jones' future was being questioned after Australia's 40-6 defeat to Wales.
Eddie Jones said he is committed to coaching Australia for the long haul and has stood by his ill-fated youth policy that saw the Wallabies crash to their earliest World Cup exit. The 63-year-old Australian, whose mother and wife are Japanese, has been linked with the Japan head coach job since Australian media reported he had interviewed for it a couple of days before the Wallabies' final World Cup warm-up.
Jones stood by his decision to go with youth and leave behind seasoned campaigners like Quade Cooper and Michael Hooper. 'I think we have left Australian rugby in a better position, he said. 'I came into the Wallabies short preparation time, I had to make a quick decision on what we do.'I made a decision we've got to go with youth. That's the best for Australia moving forward, and I still think I made the right decision there.
