Peter FitzSimons on the Wallabies' 40-6 loss to Wales & Eddie Jones | It's Only Sport 

Most New Zealanders thought it was ridiculous shafting Rennie, who had organised a rabble into a team that even with massive injuries had beaten bokke, just lost to france and Ireland, and were a minute away from beating the all blacks if they had have kicked it out.

Rennie was miles ahead of Jones. Jones can only coach quality players. Rennie can build he did for CHIEFS

Now Eddie can add worst Wallabies performance at a Rugby World Cup... didn't make the Quarter Finals to his resume 😂😂😂

Did no one watch Eddie's England team play over the last 3 years, the man is a coaching dinosaur

And no comment made about Wales (who were clinical and were a team) who tore Australia apart!

Australian rugby has gone downhill ever since they went woke and sacked Israel Falou.

Campese has been warning of this impending disaster for years (and others). Eddie Jones aside, the ARU has been spending at the top end, instead of investing long term on grass roots rugby for years. Australia is stuck in the old private school club for years and now is a distant fourth in winter sports. They simply don’t have the players.

From a Saffa - what a forken fabulous interview! You guys are awesome and love the vibe. No comment on the substantive content but it's punchy and damn entertaining! Thanks Okes. Woofff! 👊

There is a real hypocrisy around the Wallabies WC failures. Truth is the current Wallabies just do not have the talent, skills, abilities or experience to compete at this level. In fact the Wallabies played to the “best of their abilities” against Wales and Fiji. They played EXACTLY as they had for the past 15-20 tests! Same relentless mistakes…. Missed tackles, poor passing, poor kicking, losing set pieces, poor scrum, hopeless at the breakdown, poor leadership! Eddie is. Of the sole problem. The ARU Board is the real problem for 20 years of relentless mismanagement. The rugby system is broken in Australia and will take a decade or generation to fix. In the mean time the NRL & AFL continue to poach the best young school boy rugby players across Australia. One Brisbanes top GPS schools has 10 of its best rugby players on NRL scholarships!

100% agree Martin!! We should be worrying about our own backyard first!

Jones was a fine-tuner coach and not a development coach. He even admitted that in an interview. So most people who know rugby and EJ could see this coming.

Peter Fitzsimmons - the most woke rugby player on the planet.

Peter's big red hanky on his head will be handy to wipe away the tears after this mind numbing loss to Wales.

Yes, NZ rugby is currently in a steaming pile of mediocrity! That report was damning. The coach is obsessed with selecting players out of position. Not the first AB coach to do that. Remember Christian Cullen playing centre! If we beat Ireland in the quarter finals that will have to go down as our best moment since winning the World cup in 2015.

I think John Connolly would disagree Peter. He saw it coming a mile off. Been there before.

Eddie Jones is the answer to a question no one asked

Eddie Jones treats everyone like shit, even his own team.

Bring back Chopper Read! "Harden the f*ck-up, 'Stralia!" Eddie Jones blooded those inexperienced players on purpose...hoping for a pack of mongrels but, getting collection of cringing curs. The only glimmer of confidence the Walabys have shown was against an under-done Georgia. Portugal might just stomp on this newly born Aussie baby's soft spot, and sneak a victory.

sacking Foleau was the turning point

Wildcard said it better

Is anyone considering the impact these results will have on Super Rugby as a going concern? Aussies are tuning out from union; despite real zeal for union, the NZ populace is small, and the islander audience even smaller... Not easy to get oneself to the top of the TV deal bun fights with those challenges. It's going to be a fascinating next few years. Here's a Nostradamus for you Super teams devolve into 'club level' teams, more teams in NZ and fewer in OZ, retain/grow islander team. Teams play a Heineken Cup equivalent with Japanese and South American conferences. Flight of key players to other competitions is inevitable as the earning disparity will become too large to ignore...

Foster's available.

Surprised Fitzsimmons didn't complain that the whole concept of competition is the problem. That we need more woman props in mens rugby and that the world cup should be shared by all countries who participate in it. That is his vibes, no?

PETER FitzSimons was over the moon when Eddie was appointed now as usual squaring off, this bloke is full of S... !

Wales underrated .. and We are coming for you next NZ...Wales were simply Great..

Well said Fitzy👍. Only a sad cock beats a dog when it's down.☘ Ireland have gone through lean times over the 50 years plus that I've supported them. Ireland only really turned that corner when Declan Kidney took over. Yer man Schmidt picked up Declan Kidney's shining reins. Too many people neglect that fact..... Oz'll come again, just not at this RWC. "Chons da Oz".

Peter fitz ego manic stop listerning him well over a decade ago. Thought it interesting to hear how he,ll whine this one through . Didn't disappoint.

Taking calls for better jobs while having one already is called capitalism, Peter. Don't you like it?

The Aussies will be back!

1. The reason why NZ have started to look at how they can help AUS, is because if there is a lack of local competition in the tournaments then your talent will only fall shorter. 2. Peter Fitzsimons and the media coverage in Australia need to take a lot of the blame for Dave Rennie leaving. As they kept on looking at statistics that meant FA and are partly to blame for peoples uproar against DR. Sport success has never been overnight. And the sooner the media in AUS stop bad mouthing Australian rugby, and actually supported it, the better.

Jones is the Mourinho of rugby

The other rugby code that is the biggest problem for us as most of the strongest hardest fastest kids are snapped up by them.

Wales get a mention?

Eddie hasn't won the RWC as head coach . 2 finals with zero wins

Peter, I'm a big fan, but Eddie was a desperate ploy by desperate people that failed in an utterly spectacular way. Pardon my French, but fuck the 2001 Brumbies. Brutal loses are more the norm than anything else. Accomplished coaches win World Cups

Excellent interview with Peter. He is clever, smart and always speak his mind. He is also funny like he finished of by Let take you to the Airport if the story is true. haha

How does the supposedly greatest coach lose 2 world cup finals and only win 1,when that was only as an advisor.

I'm Welsh but I have to point out one thing about what you said you mentioned the Brumbies in 01 and the Wallabies 03 that's 20 and 20 years ago respectively yes he had a decent start with England but that soon turned to shit..... His methods are outdated.

Pretty shallow comments. Jones should stay. He's a good coach. Probably a mess now. The only way is up. Blame is a waste of time. Its like crying or whinging

aus rugby has been poor for twenty years now

One must wonder whether the EJ-appointment was for AU to scapegoat what would have been a dismissal petformance at the WC in any case. When a house of cards come tumbling down, you need to look at the foundational architecture and fix that.

well based on the world rankings where Australia is 9th do they now need to qualify for 2027

Who's that french bloke that knocked Fitzsimmons out cold I want to buy him.a beer

EJ's track record at world cup is not the best. He has not won a world cup!!!!! EJ team selection for the WC made no sense, left best players behind...no respect for EJ if the job interview with Japan is true. Disloyalty ever!!!

Both Wallabies and ABs will bow out by the quarters

I like Peter. He’s always pretty spot on and not the typical Aussie smart a$$ Bring back Rennie Here’s some comments about Eddie Jones from John Connelly (ex wallabies coach that took over coaching from 2006-2007 with a 64% win record vs Eddie Jones record from 2001-2005 of 57.89% win record): Eddie Jones is a a 'charlatan'. John Connolly succeeded Jones when the outspoken rugby coach left his post as Wallabies coach in 2006, having guided the Aussies over a four-year spell. Jones went on to coach the Japanese and English national teams before making a return to the Wallabies earlier this year, but after losing to South Africa and Argentina in his first two games in charge, Connolly fears the appointment is a backwards step. 'How did we end up with Eddie again? He is full of it. He talks a great game but plays a terrible one,' Connolly, who labelled the comeback a 'bloody disaster', told the Telegraph 'He is a charlatan, he is a failed selector. He was the captain's pick by the chairman who just came into the job. When I took over from Eddie, the players were like beaten down sheepdogs. If you walked in a room they would have their heads down and were scared to do anything. 'There was no leadership. There was no development. It was a total void that took nearly a year to rebuild. I can't believe we have made the same mistake again.'

Finally Wales have made an indent in SH rugby apart from the 70's! He's right AUS have ZERO chance against the Lons and sport is money, sponsor's are everything and SA NZ and AUS make massive money from Lions tours but needs to be credible. But although we loved the result, we need ALL nations firing - this is 🏉!! From Wales this is our religion (hence usually failed) need a better Wallabies than this but lest you forget Wales in the 90's I used to sob against my bed. But we came back!. So stop your moaning and start from the bottom up. Id got to war with an Aussie any day of the week as you know he'll give 100% FACT. Get up and get on.

Peter F keep eating your Bandana sir, Assistant is not the Head Coach sir.. ..too much Yap is his ONLY credential these days.. Keep chewing cobbler ... 🤥🥱😴💤🐣

Peter irrelevant

So look. How you haven't applied for and won the wallabies coach position yourself Mr Fitz simon

04:09 🤣👏

eddies a bum coach

Hey FitzSimons, Stop writing books, FFS!

FitzSimons it seems has done his Bandana to tight ... Again ...😅

The facts are..., Aus were never going to win the 2023 WC, no matter if they had all the oldies in the squad. All teams have their lowest of lows. It's your turn mates.

You should prioritise rugby union instead rugby league... rugby league is a crap sport

Institutionalised shrill.....

Eddie jones is overrated the aussies dont have the players just fact

He's a good assistant coach not a real coach. Wannabe but he would do better in the politic than coaching.

I am sure of you tell him all the woke crap of Raylene caused everything he will loose his woke mind too.

Australian Rugby went down when Israel Folau was ousted and has not recovered, God sees everything and acts accordingly.

Does EJ happen to know a waitress called Suzie!? Yeah, Na maybe the Northern Hemisphere has just got better and NZ & Aust. just don't dominate anymore? Go the ABs 🏴 (p.s. All kids need to be able to watch rugby tests on TV like they used to).

Rennie was/is much better. Players respected Rennie too.
