Old coach, old wounds: Wallabies eye win over Eddie Jones in Japan

Wallabies Seek Redemption Against Eddie Jones in Japan

The Wallabies are set to face off against Japan, led by former coach Eddie Jones, who left Australian rugby two years ago.

This match comes after the Wallabies' disappointing performance in the 2023 World Cup in France. An away test against Japan is usually a chance for the Wallabies to build confidence, but with Jones on the opposing side, the game takes on a new level of intensity.

The Wallabies face the man who led them to World Cup ignominy in an emotion-charged game against Japan on Saturday.

The tour-opener kicks off at 6:50pm (NZT) and promises to be a thrilling encounter. The Wallabies will be looking to prove themselves against Jones, who walked out on Australian rugby, leaving behind broken dreams and shattered reputations.
