Eddie Jones takes the first squad of a new Wallabies era into camp on the Gold Coast this week. The 33 players he has selected are being rewarded while those left out are being challenged to nurse the hurt and channel it into onfield improvement. The 33 players selected “have delivered on work-rate, effort and intent,” said Jones.
This camp will be no picnic. Jones is a hard taskmaster and sent a warning to every national team wannabe. “Competitive doesn’t cut it,” he said. “We will build a winner’s mindset – and we will win games. That will come from confidence and belief [and] through effort and sacrifice.”
