Aussie boss makes Jones sweat over job

EDDIE JONES may be playing it cool ahead of a review into his stewardship of the Wallabies after a disastrous spring tour but it’s what his boss didn’t say yesterday that will be making the coach sweat on his future.

Australian Rugby Union chief executive Gary Flowers was firm in his commitment to stop the rot that culminated in defeat to Wales for the first time in 18 years last weekend but was pointed in his support for the players. "We certainly have the players, I don't doubt we have the players," Flowers said.

"A nine-one performance for the last year is not acceptable in terms of team performance and we've got to turn it around."
