Show Notes

After weeks of rumours and speculation, Eddie Jones has finally walked away from coaching the Wallabies.

Rugby Australia announced his resignation earlier today- less than a month after Jones denied he was on the move.

Rugby writer and former Wallaby Peter FitzSimons says he saw 'disaster' coming, but predicted this move happening years from now.

"I saw it ending in tears 4 or 5 years from now. Eddie's a human cattle prod. He takes over teams, he completely exhausts people, he wears out assistant coaches, he wears out players."
