Eddie Jones: “We’ve been following New Zealand for a while and we’ve got to play Australian rugby again”

First, the coach commented that it is essential for the players to work together and cooperate with each other, which is important in a close match: “The most important thing is to work together. If you look at Australia of late, it depends on how many close games they’ve lost and how much they fight each other in general. It’s rarely a tactical issue,” he told The Good, The Bad & The Rugby Australia podcast.

At the same time, Jones Commenting on his decision to take up the role again, he said: “When you’re an Australian, it’s always great to coach your own country, and Australia haven’t been doing well lately, so try and help when you get the chance, try to bring rugby back to the forefront, if you want to, it’s too much not to do it. Good opportunity,” he said.

In addition, the Australian spoke about his intention to distinguish himself from his work All blacks: “I think we’ve got to change tactically. We’ve been following New Zealand for a while and we’ve got to play Australian rugby again.”

Finally, the head coach added to the topic: “I think it’s a bit more innovative. I think that’s the strength of Australian rugby. Although you have to have some structure, you have to allow the players to do that (play instinctively). So we can play a powerful game. , but let’s play fast too,” he concluded.

Big energy for test week 🔋🔋
