Australia coach launches Eddie Jones charm offensive amid speculation over England future

The 2027 Rugby World Cup could present the perfect opportunity for Eddie Jones and Australia to bury the hatchet in pursuit of a bright new future.

That's according to former England attack coach Scott Wisemantel, who wants to see his old boss leading his native team once again. Jones, 62, led the Wallabies to a runner-up finish against England at the 2003 Rugby World Cup and was fired from the position at the end of 2005.

The Tasmania native's contract with the RFU is due to expire after next year's World Cup in France. With Australia poised to host the next global tournament four years later, Wisemantel believes now could be the opportune moment for the two parties to reunite.
