Former Test winger Drew Mitchell says coach Eddie Jones owes Wallabies fans an explanation over his call to leave out veteran players from his World Cup squad
‘We’re all sitting here scratching our heads,’ says 71-Test wingerFormer Test winger Drew Mitchell has demanded Eddie Jones explain some of his selection decisions, blaming the coach for putting the Wallabies in danger of missing the quarter-finals for the first time in World Cup history.
He questioned Jones’s move to pursue a youth policy and leave out long-time skipper Michael Hooper and veteran playmaker Quade Cooper, selecting only one five-eighth in the squad in 22-year-old Carter Gordon. “Because as fans we’re all sitting here scratching our heads, and a lot of the time we can sit there and defend Eddie or the Wallabies because we can understand logic in some of these decisions but there’s none of it.
