In January, Jones made a comeback to the Wallabies, taking over from Dave Rennie, a position he had last held nearly two decades ago.

However, the Wallabies faced unprecedented challenges, failing to reach the quarterfinals for the first time and enduring their first-ever World Cup defeat to Fiji.

Their woes continued with a historic loss to Wales in the following week, marking their largest defeat in World Cup history.
