Japan hiring Eddie Jones is like trying to sail a sinking ship with a captain who drilled the holes himself.
Australia already gave him the boot after he turned our Wallabies into actual wallabies, hopping from loss to loss. The joke is now on Japan for thinking this bloke would somehow be their savior.
Maybe Eddie will teach them to lose 'strategically' - something he’s clearly mastered.

I remember after Japan hosted the rugby World Cup an Aussie colleague told me that rugby would surpass baseball as Japan’s No 1 sport. Doh!!

With the wallabies he was the 'dreamer in the team', with England he truly graduated to the 'nightmare in the team' lookk on the bright side.. eh can only get better. (but I would not wager on it).

Cheap has been and a money wolf. Must get kicked out now. He will never leave. He eats money
Fighto!
Just as players can often play on way past their use by date, so can coaches. Eddie is one of them.
How many pints in was your colleague when he offered this "wisdom"? Rugby will always be light years behind Baseball and Football in Japan. Not even a contest. If you asked a random 100 Japanese on the street to name one current Japanese rugby player, I'd expect only a handful may be able to - at best.
