Jones bizarrely hit out at journalists at a pre-Rugby World Cup 2023 press conference in Australia
He's just resigned after a disastrous nine-month spell back in charge of Australia, and was sacked by England before that. So why might Japan want to re-hire Eddie Jones? By the time the 63-year-old Aussie's seven-year tenure in charge of England came to an end in December 2022, his role with the RFU had become shambolic and toxic, on and off the pitch.Arguably, his second stint as Australia head coach ended in even more ignominious fashion.
A dominant 26-5 win over Samoa kept them in the hunt for a quarter-final place heading to the final weekend, but though they beat the USA 28-18, they became the first team in history to win three World Cup pool matches and exit the tournament. Nevertheless, it left a nation unbelievably proud and rugby popularity in Japan at an all-time high as Jones stepped away from the post after the World Cup.For most in Japan, what Jones achieved in 2015 retains a special place in their minds and hearts.
