Eddie Jones has found a most unlikely ally as he fights doggedly to save his Wallabies coaching career following Australia's latest French flop.
Fed-up fans are calling for Jones's head as the Wallabies face almost certain elimination before the Rugby World Cup quarter-finals for the first time after surrendering 40-6 to Wales in Lyon.
The record defeat followed a first loss to Fiji since 1954 and leaves Jones with a dismal one-from-eight winning rate since taking over from Dave Rennie in January.
