It's Rugby, what is he thinking?. Maybe Ed is future-proofing Rugby, where ever player and watchers are virtual, but until that unlikelihood happens, Rugby remains on the pitch with certain players offering bulk, resistance, rather than speed. Defence is all.

Doesn’t seem like we rugby fans are inspired by Eddie Jones coming back after his recent failures, but nonetheless I hope to see a competitive Japan rep team continue under his reign.

Does Jones have all his marbles?
Mr Kipling
With Japan regularly fielding more than half imported players in recent games, does this mean Eddie is going to give priority to Japanese players?

Perhaps the Japanese team could take to the field wearing Apple's Vision Pro!

I used to think Eddie was a blokes bloke: beer,horse racing and rugby...now he has no respect in all 4 corners of the globe... For the love of god, why does JRFU have to hire outside the country!?
Fighto!
Yep. Eddie Jones has lost it, and any "magic" he supposedly had 10 years ago isn't coming back.
Japanese Rugby could have had their pick of many talented coaches from around the world.
