- Former Wallaby and renowned author Peter FitzSimons joins Martin Devlin on It's Only Sport, in what is no doubt one of the darkest moments in Australian rugby history.
The Wallabies are all but out of the Rugby World Cup after their 40-6 defeat to Wales, and to make matters worse, there are reports coach Eddie Jones has been in contact with Japanese rugby about a potential position. Peter and Martin discuss whether or not Eddie Jones should remain in the role, how shifty the coach's actions are, and more.

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 doing well, a couple of close losses to big teams like France and Ireland made his stats look far worse then they actually were. The only reason they lost by a point to Italy was that Donaldson missed a conversion that an under 16 schoolboy regularly puts over. The sacking of Rennie by Hamish McLennan was devastating for the continuity and morale of the Wallabies rebuilding project.
McLennan is the real architect of this disaster.
@catinthehat906 yes they were still very cynical players and do immature Ozzie bullshit that Rennie was weening out now its back in. BECAUSE EDDIE THE CLOWN IS THE SAME
Mate as an Aussie I agree with you. Dave Rennie was managing very well with a team that had injuries to multiple key players and they still almost beat France and Ireland last Autumn… I had very mixed feelings about EJ being brought in and now the chickens have come home to roost for RA… Mr Rennie is owed a big apology imho
@@activegas1014 What became clear to me watching the post match press conferences was that the Australian players had enormous respect for Rennie and he had formed a very robust team spirit within the Wallabies camp. Fitzy doesn't appear to realise the psychological impact of suddenly trashing that by sacking Rennie and bringing in Jones so close to the World Cup.
They weren't a rabble
I think John Connolly would disagree Peter. He saw it coming a mile off. Been there before.
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
He's a good assistant coach not a real coach. Wannabe but he would do better in the politic than coaching.
Now Eddie can add worst Wallabies performance at a Rugby World Cup... didn't make the Quarter Finals to his resume 😂😂😂
Rennie was miles ahead of Jones. Jones can only coach quality players. Rennie can build he did for CHIEFS
Australian rugby has gone downhill ever since they went woke and sacked Israel Falou.
The rot had settled into Aussie Rugby way before that incident.
Raylene Castle. The woke lesbian feminist head of Aussie Sport, who guess what, is now head of NZ Sport. Lucky us. Izzy was badly done by.
@@GaryPeters-nv8pj Go woke, go broke
@@GaryPeters-nv8pj
No he wasn't. Deserved to go. And Castle was fine.
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!
And no comment made about Wales (who were clinical and were a team) who tore Australia apart!
Peter Fitzsimmons - the most woke rugby player on the planet.
Great on rugby, hopeless on everything else
And a well lubed tosser to boot.
The term woke is the most nebulous word that is a catch all for someone who can ill define what they don’t like about a person.
@@colinfuller6361 'Woke' is the new 'politically correct' - a broad insult to someone who cares about the treatment of other people that the unwoke(asleep?), non-politically correct treat with active dislike or careful neglect. But PF is a bit of a pain in the ar5e and a galoot.
The term says more about the accuser than about the accused.
PETER FitzSimons was over the moon when Eddie was appointed now as usual squaring off, this bloke is full of S... !
Ever changed your mind? Got it wrong? Admitted it?
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.
NZ is in real danger of going the same way so learn the lesson cripple comps like the NPC and club rugby at your peril.
Ireland also has to contend with winter sports that are more popular than rugby (and a smaller population) and yet is the #1 team in the world. It isn't just investing in grassroots (which is correct) it is also what to do with these promising youth players. The elite pathways and structures supporting the national team isn't there. To add to this, the Australian teams at the u20 world championships usually perform very well (I remember the 2019 team with McReight, Wilson and Lolesio losing by 1 pt to a good French side in the final). Sacking Rennie and replacing him with Jones pre world cup was a terrible decision, one that should result in the entire RA executive being sacked
Australia's coaching pool is a bigger problem than the player pool. Players with skill deficiencies is part the fault of the player but also very much an issue of poor coaching at multiple levels.
But they still are spending millions for those 2 Roosters players. It's ridiculous.
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.
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'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.
Don't worry bruv tomorrow is another day closer til we see the back of that old man fozzo 🫡
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! 👊
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.
Eddie Jones treats everyone like shit, even his own team.
Foster's available.
That's bloody funny he can take his boyfriend's with him Cane Cole's BB😅
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".
Wildcard said it better
100% agree Martin!!
We should be worrying about our own backyard first!
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 ... 🤥🥱😴💤🐣
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...
Taking calls for better jobs while having one already is called capitalism, Peter. Don't you like it?
sacking Foleau was the turning point
Peter irrelevant
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.
Wales get a mention?
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
Wales underrated .. and We are coming for you next NZ...Wales were simply Great..
😂😂😂😂
Love your positivity mate, bring it on 😊
All Blacks are ready and waiting to put another 50 points on you
It doesn’t take much to beat NZ at the moment.
It doesn’t take much to beat NZ at the moment.
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
The Aussies will be back!
Hell I hope so. Down under we need the competition of a strong Aussie team. At the moment everyone in Aust wants to be the Taxi driver to ensure Eddie gets to the plane to, who the f..k cares.
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.
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?
So look. How you haven't applied for and won the wallabies coach position yourself Mr Fitz simon
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!!!
Exactly it's completely distorted by the fact he has been to 3 of them most coaches get 1 maybe 2 and the best win it in 1 or 2 attempts
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).
Eddie jones is overrated the aussies dont have the players just fact
Who's that french bloke that knocked Fitzsimmons out cold I want to buy him.a beer
Eddie hasn't won the RWC as head coach . 2 finals with zero wins
How does the supposedly greatest coach lose 2 world cup finals and only win 1,when that was only as an advisor.
aus rugby has been poor for twenty years now
The other rugby code that is the biggest problem for us as most of the strongest hardest fastest kids are snapped up by them.
The NRL has a great product and they are very professional and ruthless.
New Zealand school boy rugby produces a lot of players for the Nrl as well.
@@timgregory82 Yes hard to turn down a 100K offer when you are a teenager.
eddies a bum coach
Rennie was/is much better. Players respected Rennie too.
Hey FitzSimons, Stop writing books, FFS!
Eddie Jones is the answer to a question no one asked
Jones is the Mourinho of rugby
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.
Institutionalised shrill.....
You should prioritise rugby union instead rugby league... rugby league is a crap sport
I am sure of you tell him all the woke crap of Raylene caused everything he will loose his woke mind too.
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.
Both Wallabies and ABs will bow out by the quarters
FitzSimons it seems has done his Bandana to tight ... Again ...😅
04:09 🤣👏
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
Aye👍
Clever dic
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.'
Australian Rugby went down when Israel Folau was ousted and has not recovered,
God sees everything and acts accordingly.
Israel must have pissed off god to be ruled out of this world cup
