Jones said the big challenge he faced before the final was dealing with the praise that came his players’ way after the New Zealand victory. What could he have done differently with England? “I don’t have any regrets but there were a couple of mistakes, a couple of decisions I probably rushed.” Jones points out that, because rugby has become “a lot more complex” the role of his assistants is “just so important because they’re doing the bulk of the coaching”. Could he have done more to generate the synergy that was missing between him and some of his assistant coaches? “I think it’s always about selection of people, mate.” Footage of Kylian Mbappe slow clapping Man City striker Erling Haaland at the Ballon d'Or awards leaves fans in stitches as he cuts a glum figure

Leadership: Lessons From My Life in Rugby by Eddie Jones

Jude Bellingham's dad posts a heartfelt tribute to his son after the Real Madrid superstar WON the Kopa award at the 2023 Ballon d'Or His World Cup record is hugely impressive, having also made Japan the story of the tournament in 2015, and so does he still dream of winning it? “Yeah, I’d obviously like to lift the trophy. But I really enjoy the process of building a team and playing good rugby.” He describes his experience growing up in a tough working-class area of Sydney, where he first played rugby, and how he learnt from the extreme highs and lows of his own playing career - the numerous successes but also the painful disappointment of never playing for Australia. The men’s Rugby World Cup begins in September and Jones believes “six teams can win it. Australia have beaten South Africa, drawn with New Zealand and lost [away] to France by one point. So they’re one of the six with England. New Zealand and South Africa are ranked third and fourth. Ireland and France are the popular teams [ranked 1 and 2]. They might be slightly ahead but in nine months they mightn’t be and that’s all that counts. At most other World Cups New Zealand have been way ahead with a group of teams fighting to play them. Generally, it’s South Africa, who have won the World Cup three times. That’s changed now.”With just five wins and a draw from 12 Tests in 2022 – England's worst season since 2008 - it was no surprise that England rugby CEO Bill Sweeney expressed being 'really disappointed' by the team's performance.
