Australian rugby vowed to rebuild on Tuesday after the"bitterly disappointing" reign of Eddie Jones, who has quit as Wallabies coach following their calamitous World Cup campaign.
Rugby Australia on Tuesday accepted the 63-year-old's resignation as head coach and chief executive Phil Waugh said it was time to win back the fans. "I think everyone is a candidate," said Waugh, adding that outgoing All Blacks boss Ian Foster would be considered if he put his hand up. Jones only recently said that he was committed to Australian rugby despite overseeing their World Cup flop, denying rumours that he was about to jump ship to take over at Japan.
The Wallabies World Cup rapidly unravelled as Jones favoured rookies over trusted veterans while appointing a revolving door of novice captains.
