Eddie Jones sends Ireland Rugby World Cup warning with bullish prediction

Eddie Jones has sent Ireland a World Cup warning as he reckons his Wallabies side can go all the way.

Ireland are among the favourites for the tournament but Jones thinks that his side can be an unlikely winner.

Jones took over as Australia boss and is hoping for a smash-and-grab World Cup victory.

The former England boss was parachuted in as Australia boss in January 2023 with the Wallabies out of form.

But Jones reckons that his side can be the side to beat at this year's competition.

He said: "We believe we have a quality coaching staff to plan and prepare the team for a smash-and-grab campaign, winning the Bledisloe Cup and finishing by winning the Rugby World Cup.

“It is experience, diverse and adaptable.”

Australia have been drawn in a group with Wales, Fiji, Georgia and Portugal and will likely face either England or Argentina if they are to progress to the quarter-finals.
