Australia head coach Dave Rennie has ruled out a sensational Wallabies return for Eddie Jones before this year's Rugby World Cup.
Jones is considering his options after being axed as England boss following an RFU review into a wretched autumn series. The Australian is a World Cup specialist and had been gearing up to lead England's charge in France this September, but was sacked last month after presiding over a dismal run of five wins from 12 Tests in 2022.
Free agent Jones has been linked with a host of roles since his abrupt Twickenham exit and could still make an impact at the World Cup with an immediate international coaching return.
