Eddie delivers a broadside slam to the JRFU.
Truth is, this could all still be a clusterf**k.
No 2nd thoughts for Jones as he tells JRFU they need to improve
Eddie Jones said Monday he hoped the Brave Blossoms' stunning start to this year's Rugby World Cup would kickstart a revival in the sport in Japan.
But he wasn't totally convinced that would happen with the current administration still in place, and admitted that was one of the reasons he will leave Japan after the World Cup to coach the Cape Town-based Stormers, after having originally agreed to be director of rugby at Japan's new Super Rugby side.
... "This is like a balloon. It can be popped or it can be a real growth spurt. It's entirely the responsibility of the JRFU."
"To keep improving things have to change. I couldn't go back after the World Cup and do what I have done for the last four years because we are not going to improve enough within the current structures. I know enough about rugby to know that."
... "I am surprised Super Rugby is going ahead but maybe there were legal ramifications. But I am not privy to that," Jones said. "It just hasn't got the right infrastructure in place to be successful and it could end up doing more harm than good."
