Before the World Cup in France got under way rugby fans were licking their lips at the prospect of polarising coach Eddie Jones lining up for a quarter-final clash against his former team England.
Another prospect loomed, with the Jones-coached Wallabies squaring off in the final eight against former Australia coach Michael Cheika, who now oversees Argentina.
