Eddie Jones Resigns as Australia Coach, Criticizes England's Lack of Progress Since His Departure

Jones cites lack of administrative support and systemic change in Australian rugby as reasons for resignation, declares intentions to challenge conventional rugby coaching in future role.

Eddie Jones has resigned as the head coach of Australia's rugby team, criticizing the nation's administrative support and systemic approach to the sport.
Jones maintains that his ambition to alter the conventional approach to rugby and create a transformative team remains high, despite leaving two prominent Test rugby jobs within 11 months.
He considers his revolutionary efforts will occur through a head coach role and has hinted at potential interest in Japan's head coaching role, although he denies formal meetings.
Despite significant optimism on Jones's appointment and early plans for the Rugby World Cup, Australia finished Jones's tenure with two wins from nine Tests and a premature exit at the group stage, which Jones blames on failed off-field objectives.
Jones asserts that England has failed to progress since his departure, owing to their inability to move past an 'attritional sort of rugby.' However, he commends his successor, Steve Borthwick, for maintaining traditional English rugby.
