After easily accounting for Georgia 35-15 at Stade de France,will be delighted with the potential of this performance. It is early days and far greater challenges lie ahead but his young side are starting to sprout wings.
Jones has instilled confidence into players who needed it. Suliasi Vunivalu got stuck in straight away off the bench. Will Skelton’s captaincy seems to be developing nicely. His oratory is distilled into curt calls-to-arms and the phrase ‘boom-boom’ but it works. And where previous Wallabies captains might have chased tries and pressure, Skelton took penalties when they were on offer and rested his men where he could.
A Brat Pack of young Wallabies also announced themselves on the world stage. Mark Nawaqanitawase was dynamic in the air and out wide, young flankers Tom Hooper and Fraser McReight ran hard through heavy traffic and created havoc in the clinches, and, with smart charges and offloads, centre Jordan Petaia had his best game in gold.Photograph: Aurélien Meunier/Getty Images
