Eddie Jones Stormers, No, Wait, England coach

[Aussie D]

Will he still be coaching the Stormers next year? Reports that he is the new England coach with an announcement imminent.

IN that case, I doubt it.

However, if he left Japan because he was tired of bureaucracy, then he's going the wrong direction.

Former Wallaby coach, Alan Jones, on radio this morning, speaking about Eddie Jones coaching England: "Eddie Jones! Eddie Jones! The guy's a control-freak. People who worked with him ended up having nervous breakdowns, but I wont say any more about that. He sent the Reds into the pits, winning only two matches................ He couldn't coach a pig to get dirty"!!

I wonder how far down the list of preferred candidates Eddie was?


Graham Henry, Wayne Smith, Jake White, Warren Gatland, Nick Mallet, Michael Cheika, Blind Freddy, Bob Dwyer, Richard Graham, Eddie Jones.


That's my guess.

i continue to wonder about all the crap that goes on about Eddie. He coached an ageing Wallabies to a RWC final (against all predictions), he was heavily involved with a RWC winning Springbok team and did a great job with Japan. He was pants at the Reds but so was everybody else around that time and save for Ewen McK everyone since!

That was quick! Big loss for the Stormers.

He's also won a Super Rugby title, the Bledisloe, and a Tri Nations series........

So his record is far more impressive than say.... Link.

I'd swap him for RG in less than a heart beat.

Bad news for the Stormers, and the sweetener fee sounds paltry.

He was also in charge for one of the darkest periods of Australian forward development.

Seems like a smart move by Jones, the RFU are desperate, they'll throw whatever money he wants and after a year of not getting the results they'll sack him and he'll be paid out in full.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
so Eddie's lack of interest in the scrum will deprive the poms of the one thing they had going for them

How did they miss out on Richard Graham? He usually scores highly on World Wide Searches.

That's too good for just a "like". Off topic. But gold.

And also greatly improved the Japanese forward pack.............

He followed Rod Macqueen at both the Brumbies and the Wallabies and, frankly, brought nothing new to a very successful table.

His singlehanded destruction of the Reds is the worst example of terrible coaching in thw history of the game.

I wonder how Eddie's coaching by numbers will go down with English players, I not rubbishing Eddie, but I do tend to think he coaches a very systems type of game!

Hope he works well. But not until after the 6 nations.
