- This is Up Front with Simon Jordan. A show brought to you by William Hill that pulls no punches and tells it EXACTLY like it is.
Eddie Jones is one of the most recognisable coaches on the international rugby stage. Having coached his native Australia, Japan and of course England, where he won multiple Six Nations titles and reached a World Cup final in 2019.
Known for his tough coaching methods, his controversial statements and his unwavering commitment to excellence, Eddie Jones is one of the game’s great characters. He joined the show on Friday 27th October, two days before he announced his resignation from his position as Head Coach of Australia. This hour long conversation gives an insight into his state of mind ahead of that big decision...

😂
Love Eddie. 2019 World cup we played amazingly. he really did a great job. sad it didn't work out in the end.
Eddie has been infuriating, amusing and likeable and all at the same time. Great interview.
It’s hard to not like this man. Enjoyable interview. Straight talking man is Eddie
ummm... unless hes abused almost all your countrys leading players led your team to its worst performance Ever by his assinine BS …wov a POS hes unfortunately become
Eddie will always be a part of the Bok history🇿🇦❤
Didn't know Eddie was a Liverpool fan. Respect to you both, great interview.
Great interview
Fantastic to see Simon engaging with various rugby leaders; something I wasn’t aware he had knowledge or interest in until this podcast.. love his analysis of boxing, football and rugby
It's driven by gambling revenue. They cover Jordan's (rather modest) salary.
Fantastic episode as always. I’ve always really liked Eddie Jones and I think what you see is what you get with him. He’s stayed true to himself throughout his career and it takes a big man to admit when they haven’t got it right. Simon’s style just makes them open up and it is brilliant! Keep em coming
I think he is a fuck wit had no idea what he was doing when came onboard and Australias coach.
Irrespective his faults, I enjoy listening to Eddie Jones speaking about rugby.
"Thanks for this interview, offering a perspective quite opposite to what the media often portrays about Eddie Jones. His coaching style, though it may take time to show results, truly elevates teams to exceptional levels of success and excellence."
Absolute legend,… flawed man with so much self awareness that others think he contradicts himself, but clearly just brutally honest. Hope he finds a sense of peace and comfort outside of rugby 🏉 🇿🇦
Fantastic interview. Brilliant questions and interaction from Simon. Much respect
Brilliant interview, huge respect to both Simon and Eddie.
Woodward got every call wrong in the current World Cup. 💁
Who is Clive Woodward??😂😂
Another good interview Simon....loved listening to Eddie.
We miss you Eddie in England. ❤
I always liked Eddie...2016 was such a fun time to be a England fan..grand slam Australia away and the superb Eddie press conference's...
Im a saffa and i love Eddie love his honesty and brazenness.
I think Rassies advantage however is that leadership, owing to cultural complexity in South Africa is more finely honed - as leaders need to know to how to balance inclusion, team building and winning. No other country has to navigate these challenges.
This really is a a great interview within the sports category.👏
Simon absolutely killing it - brilliant podcast with great guests 👍
Eddie's description of the perfect captain sounds a hell of a lot like Siya
Great interview - this podcast keeps getting better and better. Thanks very much to Eddie and Simon. Hope Eddie resurfaces as the England coach in about 4 years time...
Why would u want this guy as your coach .. he’s all talk
😂😂😂 Eddie-it
@@pistolpetenakiHave you ever seen anything as close to a perfect game as the 2019 Semi-Final?
Are you talking about the semi final in the World Cup between nz and England .. if you are . Then you might need to check out few of these World Cup games ..all blacks v England 1995 .. semi final ..or 2015 quarterfinal nz v France ..we only put on 64 points that day ..or the semi final in 91 bewteen Australia and nz ..or 1987 semi final when nz put on 49 points in wales ..so yes I seen many more games better than day . Only been watching test match rugby since 1979 @@frankjonesy
Great interview, Eddie has gone up in my estimation. Very truthful and open, not what I expected.....
Don't forget Eddie came in to the Springbok setup in 2007 to give us the added edge which assisted in SA winning that world cup. Eddie is a wirely old cyote and a great coach. He has won a world cup medal with SA, so he definitely is a winner and highly regarded by all his piers.
Wirely old cyote
Oh what absolute BS ... he made zero difference in that Bok win, and has been hanging on the coattails of Jake's success ever since. Eddie achieved NOTHING on his own, getting fired from one high profile coaching job after another due to weak results, divisive attitude and poor media relations now that people have cottoned onto the fact he's nothing but a BS artist.
Great interview. Well done on getting Eddie on your show. Cheers.
Great interview. Thanks guys
This is such an amazing interview.
Brilliant show.
Brilliant interviewer.
Enjoying the rugby interviews. A south African interview will be great. BOKKE!
Yeah would be really interesting seeing the comparison of this interview with one with Rassie.
"Someone wrote that for Dylan""🤣🤣🤣
Awesome Simon and Eddie was brilliant, I like his style. Simon you are the best podcaster out there , period : )
I am an South African and I love Eddie, I think people forget how terrible SA we’re before the last World Cup. But no one is Rassie. Eddie being in coaching staff in 2007 World Cup with SA was great.
Australian rugby has been dead or dying for a longer time than SA.
Oz rugby system is non existent, Eddie was right in his assessment
Great interview enjoyed it Simon … please also look at getting a rugby league player or coach on here… I know you’re into union not league but would be great to see as I love your interviews. 🏉
I like Eddie... yes he gets a lot of stick but he's passionate about rugby and as a kiwi even i respect him. Best of luck Eddie 👍
Love this interview Eddie is the legend of the game.
Fascinating. Excellent questions. Impressive.
Have to say Eddie. I was very wrong about you. Never warmed to you before, but you've definitely changed my opinion now. Another fantastic interview Simon 👏 👍
Another great interview. I like Eddie, I like to see him at another home nation or Fiji. He's good for the game.
Got to hand it to Simon, he does a good interview and never shy’s away from the direct questions we all want answered.
Everything Eddie has said about what he tried to achieve, sums up Exactly what Rassie and Nienaber achieved with the Springboks. Except the South African coaching staff, not only achieved it but proved their excellence. No player felt slighted because they were replaced. It was done for the greater good of the team and the ultimate goal. Back to back World Cup champions and four Webb Ellis trophy’s.
Nothing wrong with what Eddie said, he unfortunately didn’t have the cattle that Rassie has.
Yawn
They, the Saffas, were given another stab at the world cup and Eddie as not supported by England. Leaving England in a quandary and then Aussie rugby decided to change tack, appoint Eddie at the loss of continuity that Rennie offered.
The “Aussie Eddie project” should always have been the 2027 world cup.
Rugby world cups are one in the board room. Waugh seems an inspirational choice as president.
When you celebrate the bronze medal at Rugby World Cup you are on a hiding to nothing.
South Africa fans are basically Liverpool fans.
Classless.
Woe is me attitude.
Embarrassing.
@@mrc8985 priceless!
Great interview again 👏🏼
Fascinating interview,two top blokes
You ask hooper if Eddie is a top bloke lol
@@pistolpetenaki
But I’m not asking him 👀
Always respect Eddie Jones what hes been through Rugby Union... Hes been at all levels
Great episode..I really enjoy the honesty with these two men
I like Eddie Jones. You get what you see. Seems pretty cool. Makes a lot of sense.
A man who knows when he is right, stands up for the people, and acknowledges when he is wrong.
Loved that, excellent viewing
Top interview,well done to all involved
Eddie is right it’s too late for Australia in terms of changing private school system considering how big rugby league is but England still have a chance to change it
In Rugby Eddie is a common man coach, great interview up front host Simon. Eddie has so much admiration for England Rugby. I am huge fan of England Rugby and their fan base. Eddie will get a deal from Japan. Cheers from Oklahoma
Its unfair to say Eddie's never won a world cup. He did in 2007 with the Springboks. Without him, they wouldn't have done it pls respect him
These idiots don't know the meaning of the word respect, not satisfied with any of the previous coaches either..
Great episode so farr , could fo with a pixza to finish watching. Please send 😊
18:57 😂😂😂😂😂😂
In stitches
Simon = top LAD proper clobber. It’s doesn’t matter the sport, the DON will extract truth and facts from every conversation
Glad to hear Eddie speak so highly of Faz. I’ve been lucky to follow him his whole career and I know he’s fantastic. Best Saracens player I’ve ever seen. Incredible player and a top bloke. Unlucky he’s been painted a certain way as it doesn’t reflect the person he is.
He painted himself a certain way.
Is it weird that as a South African I really respect and like Jones?
No because we can see past the bullshxt, RFU and the England public are a bunch of deranged narcissistic tools, look at how they carried on when SA scraped past them in the semis, they acted like England just played the greatest test match in their entire history and prolly gonna make a movie about it, EJ England had 77 % WR reached a final and nothing but slander for Eddie in the media.
Superb interview
South Africa, Played in 8 world cups, won 4 .. 50% strike rate.. that mustt be 1 of the best in sports history.. and 4 finals played, 4 wins.. 100% record in finals.. what are they doing with their limited resources ?
Another good interview. Thanks Simon. Love Eddie 👍
jordan this was your best interview
Love Eddie, we were lucky in England to have him! Sadly we have a lot of idiots here too !
Great interview.
great interview and please get in Rassie Eramus too if you can
Great interview. Eddie took a team that was 60% of the 2003 team who were all at there peak to the heights of rugby at the time. He did the best with what he had!
eddie comes from an individualist culture.
rassie & jacque and the vast majority of all of us SA’ns come from a collectivist culture of individuals.
this relationship is in our and only our Constitution.
that’s all.
His Brumbies Super Rugby teams were brilliant.
One of the world's biggest bullshitters and... you could finish that sentence with either of these boys to be honest.
The best rugby captains can take complicated ideas, and distill them down to 3 or 4 specific jobs. Thats what made Martin Johnson SO good.
He hit it on the nail …..in South Africa rugby union is a people’s game ….
Best one and the only one I have watched all the way through
Simon! Take your fingers out your mouth! Eddie, we love you. A true character in a world that loses character day by day.
Say what you want about Eddie his one of the great rugby minds
Eddie must be the absolute antithesis of Rassie.
If you want to know rassie ,just buy his book it will give you big insight
@@Alex-mj5dvYou are absolutely wrong. All those players love Rassie. They invite him over to their home functions. He knows every player's home. He has known most of them since they were teenagers. I'm South African and I'm telling you that you wrong. Those players love Rassie very much.
@@Alex-mj5dvcouldn’t be anymore wrong. Do your best to get your hands on the Chasing the Sun & Rassie documentaries. Guy is well loved in the squad because of his transparency & how they deal individually with players. There probably isn’t anyone else other than Razor with that type of man management. Plus see for yourself how tight the entire squad is, even look at behind the scenes currently and on social media. When Rassie took over in 2018, he did away with A & B teams and probably built the best depth in international rugby. He wanted transparency & did away with racial quotas. The squad is made up of 33 people all from varying and many from vastly different backgrounds, different languages and contexts etc yet they were all able to pull in for one common goal beyond the divide.
Eddie will prosper again, RFU is shxt, AR is even worse
Why? Really interested why you say that.
Brilliant!!!!
As a man and a coach I respect Eddie and when listening to him I always found myself being inspired and feeling like if he was my coach I would run through brick walls, I could go to the well and drink and I could go again and again and we would reach the goal as a team and as an individual.
When he talked I was silent as he had a way which inspired me and made me believe in away which is difficult to explain but sadly over time his magic and his words lost me, what could have been is still my thoughts and i struggle now to see where he can go and achieve what he set out for.
A busted flush is the saying and I hope that’s not applicable just yet as I still like and respect him but he doesn’t inspire me like he once did.
I always loved Eddie and I still am a huge fan of his. Great coach despite recent events.
He’s not a great coach lol .. he’s great at talking bs .. ..the guy won 2 games with Australia lol .. he left England rugby team after 7 years in ruins .. the guy is a good coach but he’s not kid our self .. he never won on the big stage ..what he win a few grand slams ., big deal .. oh he beat South Africa with Japan ..did they make out of their pool nope lol ..
More rugby stuff please!
Agree on Eddie's view on private schools.... England Rugby now needs to widen the pool to attract the best players 👍
I so agree
They recently decimated the budget for community coaching. Don’t hold your breath.
You cant just blame private schools, state schools in this country are totally useless with promoting sport, run by academics. Lets build a basketball court that'll do the job! Until they invest in our core sports like rugby/cricket/athletics the pool wont open up....
I come from the biggest town in England not one state school had a rugby team .
It’s a weird thing I never thought of in South Africa whether private or government Rugby is our sport. In Paarl we have 2 massive private or semi government schools but all the kids are hardened farming kids.
Simon "'Priced into my thinking" Jordan. Could listen to him all day
It's such a shame England got rid of Eddie when they did, he always has a plan for the RWC and think he could've made England contenders if they'd have had the bottle to hold on
Sadly he didn't fit the red trouser brigade mould
Great interview 👏
But Borthwick got to a whisker of a final?
@@brookmcg😂how long will that semi be talk about .eng journalist gonna reference it all the time 😅
He could’ve won the cup with England’s players.. better than what Aussie has.
Proper rugby man is Eddie Jones - great respect between him and SJ 🤝
Just put a lie detector next to the microphone 🎤
Some of these comments are way off the mark.
Only going by facts here:
Eddie has left rugby Australia in its worse situation ever.
Well the Rugby Australia board have been the ones really responsible you can't just blame a coach...
He was there for a few months and just a handful of matches before the WC. You can’t solely blame him for the outcome. That isn’t logical or fair.
Would have been worse if Rennie stayed lol
Simon getting educated outside soccer … regarding the Ella brothers… “ like having three Messi’s”. Classic. Spread the word, Eddie. The world isn’t round, it’s more spherical.
If only Rugby Australia promoted the game in South Australia more.......their loss
Springboks Management increased the pool of players from 2012. Look at the game winning talent developed under this excellence program
Watching this just reminded me of what England Rugby has lost. He is clearly one of the best coaches in the world and the RFU let him go which to this day I find baffling.
Why not. I’m a bok fan and 1-2yr running up to World Cup a lot of pundits were saying the that young Aus side could be special and some tipped
Them to win. They just fell apart, can’t only blame Jones
Simon please do one with Rassie 🇿🇦
Eddie and Steve Hansen have similar views. Their thoughts on how rugby can improve are so similar but no one listens
Exactly when was this filmed? Eddie obviously quit the Aus role a couple of days ago. He is clearly being economical with the truth in regards to his future. Overall I do like him, but I think he needs a break from coaching. He lost the plot with England with crazy and poor selections. Same just happened with Aus.
Friday 27th
Eddie Jones conned Australia - he was fired by England , didn't have a job - knew that Japan had a head coach opening at the end of this year so promised Austrlia Rugby this amazing thing he would do - he had no intention to succeed he planned to fail so he could exit after the world cup and take a lucrative Japanes contract - hopefully Japan has seen he is a charlatan
Eddie Jone - 9 games summary as head coach of Australia in 2023
7 losses out of 9 games
Yellow cards - Australia 9
Yellow cards - Opposition 4
Penalty tries conceded - Australia 2
Penalty tries conceded - Opposition 0
World Ranking before Eddie took over 6th - current world ranking 9th
Points for Australia - 160
Points against Australia - 229
Poker face Jones
Knowing Eddie, he will own up to all of his past managerial mistakes, take ownership of the current situation, not blame others, and graciously take any criticism on the chin...
Lol, that won't be Eddie!
@@ivotheg2397whoosh
Hope this is satire
Yeah maaaate
I can take it mate (pocket bulging from the Millions hes pitchforked)…including always getting his attractive daughter a paid Rugby post in the country hes coaching…snot nepotism mate shes fully qualified mate I can attest to her Ass.ets lmfao
If Eddie was a doctor... His name would be Harold shipman!! Well done for getting this interview sj
Absolutely love Eddie. He speaks so much sense. The challenge is always how people interpret it. Great interview
What rubbish ..Eddie ruin England rugby team ..ruin the Australian rugby team in in 8 months .. speaks very little sense .. thought he said he was going to beat the all blacks lol
😂😂😂
@@pistolpetenaki he KO’d the nz chokers from 2 world cups
Who would kO the all blacks ..your boy Eddie lol here for a fact for you .. Australia been in the World Cup since 1987 the worst they ever done was a quarterfinal in 95 and 2007 . Only last year they lost to France and Ireland by one point ..so when Eddie took over how they go ..oh that right they never made out of its pool lol ..so Eddie Jones is the worst Australian rugby coach in history . That is a fact ..oh I’m laughing at the comments he is a great coach ., he was never a great coach . He very good talker @@hanoitripper1809
eddie jones is full of bs.
australia was NOT broken under dave rennie.... they were improving and actually on the right track.
jones made a good side into a heap of rubble.
he also threw senior players-awesome rolemodels under the bus...!
ZERO respect for the guy!
When i saw he dropped Hooper i was so shocked i mustve read the squad list 5 times cos i thought id missed his name....and im English 😂
The majority of the positive comments here (not in this thread) about Eddie are baffling. He’s a lying prick that mangled the WC for Australia. Awful selections, needless drama and all while knowing full well that he was going to Japan anyway. Total prick.
The state that Japanese rugby is in, they deserve each other….
And the bloke is notoriously the most dictatorial coach around. Changes the game plan on these young blokes every week with the threat of being dropped or hooked after 38 minutes if they go off script. Then has the gall to complain that players don’t play what’s in front of them anymore. One sentence the sky is blue, the next it’s red with this bloke.
Rennie the worst Wallabies coach of all time bro look at the stats facts don’t care bout feelings #Trump2024
@@thewielloyd988that’s how you coach bro part of the job harden up lol
About time Gary Neville and Eddie Hearn had a chat with Simon.
Hearn and Jordan a chat. Not a playground argument like we had on talksport.
Bubbles grew up and decided rugby was the game.
Japan, 🇯🇵
I think Eddie was really good for England.
A lot of the players that are whining now, were not whining when they nearly won the world cup with Eddie.
He had them winning 10 in a row against Australia (pretty sweet revenge after the aussies kicked them out of their own 2015 world cup).
He also had them undefeated in 18 games, which is pretty much as good as the run Ireland just enjoyed.
Best ranked team in the world for a time.
