I don&#8217;t think I could have done it with the players that had been playing. I think we needed a fresh change,&#8217; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Sure, young guys struggled in the environment today but unless they get that experience they are not going to mature into the players they can be. This is the most painful time, don&#8217;t get me wrong, but it&#8217;s also the best learning time for young players. This is where they really learn about the game and learn what you need for test level.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;There is not a team I have coached that hasn&#8217;t been through this at the start of their tenure.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;A process unfortunately takes times, takes some pain. Sometimes it takes more pain than it does pleasure, I have no doubt what I set out to do. While it looks at the moment like it&#8217;s a shambles, I can guarantee it&#8217;s not.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;There&#8217;s a core group of player who are going to be really good. Some of those players, in time they are going to be world class. They are going to be the backbone of a very successful Australian team. I&#8217;ve got no doubt about that.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The Wallabies have one World Cup match left against Portugal.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/rugbyunion\/article-12556011\/Eddie-Jones-press-conference-Wallabies-loss-Wales-Rugby-World-Cup.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read the question that made Eddie Jones threaten to walk out of his press conference after horror Rugby World Cup [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":292376,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
