Vitriolic Eddie Jones went too far, says Michael Cheika

Michael Cheika believes Eddie Jones has tarnished his legacy with Australia, claiming his compatriot unloaded “vitriol” on the Wallabies in June’s Test series with England.

England host Australia on Saturday in an already highly-charged Twickenham clash, but Wallabies boss Cheika has raised the stakes again by hitting back at Jones’ verbal salvos.

Cheika insists former Australia boss Jones damaged his achievements with the Wallabies, that included guiding the nation to the 2003 World Cup final, during England’s 3-0 summer series victory down under.
