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
"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."
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
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 🏉 🇿🇦
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
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...
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 .

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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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
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
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.
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.
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 👏 👍
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 ?
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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...
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
39:00 - interesting exchange between the 2, particularly in light of Eddie leaving. I agree with Ugo Monye that the whole situation of the ARU and Eddie stinks. But I do feel that Eddie is getting more flak than where it should be targeted at - the ARU. Reading in between the lines, Eddie seemed to only sign with them if certain expectations were met. Whatever they were, it seemed to require a change of thinking from the ARU. I think post-world cup, they have now got cold feet and feel unsure whether to take Eddie’s advice, and he in turn has said that if they didn’t agree to what was initially said before he signed the contact, then he would leave. It’s better for Eddie to leave now, than to stay and work for the same system that won’t change or buckle. Yes, the coach is responsible - but the ARU are the ones who signed him (and also sacked a great coach in Dave Rennie). They have a part to blame in this, and they are the ones who need to change. It feels very reminiscent of the RFU, WRU, World Rugby etc. These rugby boards historically seem to be so out of touch with their fans, the players and the game that it feels scary that they are the ones in charge. Gus Pichot talks a lot of good sense and he would make a great World Rugby Ambassador because he wants immediate change. These other rugby boards seem too scared or too hesitant and the longer the wait the more this game will struggle. Look at the RFU - Wasps, Worcester, London Irish, Jersey Reds. How many more clubs need to fold before a complete new restructure is needed. The same for the ARU, how many poor World Cup campaigns does it have to take before the board take the situation by both hands and fully change jt
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 ..
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
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
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 👏
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.
@@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.
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.
26:44 ‘I know you’re older and wiser’ Stop the cap Eddie is throwing tantrums like a child. 27:10 Sign of a narcissist. Doesn’t acknowledge that maybe people don’t like you. 33:05 ‘You’ve gotta set some hope’ ‘You’re setting yourself up for failure’ ‘I can take it’. Mate we’re not talking about you. See if you can not think about yourself for a second. We’re listening to a narcissist. He’s saying his weakness is wanting to win too much. Wow. I wonder if he thinks we believe him. 56:31 Look at the narcissist laughing there. You’ll never hear any all blacks coach say that to a player. Ever.
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
I liked Eddies tenure as England coach..but feel in hindsight he should of stepped down after the World Cup..as what happened after spoilt his legacy. He still remains the England Manager with the highest win %. Thanks for the fun Eddie 👍
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.
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....
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.
That question about "are you really a winner if you've lost two world cup finals" was ridiculous. Alex Ferguson lost seven cup finals as a manager: 2 Champions League finals, 3 FA Cup finals and 2 League Cup finals. Is he not a winner?
His greatest achievement was beating NZ in the 2003 semi-final then nearly beating England a week later with less talented players. I would rather go for a beer with him than Woodward any day of the week.
England have only ever, in their entire sporting history, reached the rugby world cup final 3 times. Eddie was one of those. And instead of celebrating that fact as a sign of massive improvement and a historical result, the second that world cup was over, they set out to undermine him. Now they reach a world cup semi final, at best, and seem happier. I just don't get it. 1 third of all England rugby world cup finals were coached by Eddie. Only two other managers in the history of English rugby have reached the final. Yet we are supposed to celebrate the likes of Gatland, Farrell, etc. Who have NEVER even got to a final. And I'm a Welsh rugby fan. ** More intelligent people than me have told me that it is 4 WC finals for England - so change the figures to 25 % for Eddie ;)
Since 2019 whatever he was doing in his coaching wasn't working n we've been abysmal . That bad that getting to a semi final was a surprise coming from how crap we were .
Does anybody else get the feeling that Simon Jordan is trying to look for validation of his anti woke agenda from top class sports people at every turn. Give it a rest Simon ya lemon and talk about sport.
Love Eddie. 2019 World cup we played amazingly. he really did a great job. sad it didn't work out in the end.
Eddie Jones helped us win the 2007 Rugby World Cup. Backbline players praised him before we won. He is A World Cup

It's driven by gambling revenue. They cover Jordan's (rather modest) salary.

Brilliant interview, huge respect to both Simon and Eddie.

great interview and please get in Rassie Eramus too if you can
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
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.
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..

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
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 😂

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.
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.
One of the world's biggest bullshitters and... you could finish that sentence with either of these boys to be honest.
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.
Another good interview. Thanks Simon. Love Eddie 👍
Say what you want about Eddie his one of the great rugby minds
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.
26:44
‘I know you’re older and wiser’
Stop the cap
Eddie is throwing tantrums like a child.
27:10
Sign of a narcissist. Doesn’t acknowledge that maybe people don’t like you.
33:05
‘You’ve gotta set some hope’
‘You’re setting yourself up for failure’
‘I can take it’.
Mate we’re not talking about you. See if you can not think about yourself for a second.
We’re listening to a narcissist. He’s saying his weakness is wanting to win too much.
Wow.
I wonder if he thinks we believe him.
56:31
Look at the narcissist laughing there. You’ll never hear any all blacks coach say that to a player. Ever.
Yawn
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
I liked Eddies tenure as England coach..but feel in hindsight he should of stepped down after the World Cup..as what happened after spoilt his legacy.
He still remains the England Manager with the highest win %.
Thanks for the fun Eddie 👍
His Brumbies Super Rugby teams were brilliant.
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.
Eddie and Steve Hansen have similar views. Their thoughts on how rugby can improve are so similar but no one listens
Brilliant interview think Eddie is fantastic
A superb interview
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.
Proper rugby man is Eddie Jones - great respect between him and SJ 🤝
Springboks Management increased the pool of players from 2012. Look at the game winning talent developed under this excellence program
That question about "are you really a winner if you've lost two world cup finals" was ridiculous. Alex Ferguson lost seven cup finals as a manager: 2 Champions League finals, 3 FA Cup finals and 2 League Cup finals. Is he not a winner?
If only Rugby Australia promoted the game in South Australia more.......their loss
Simon please do one with Rassie 🇿🇦
More rugby stuff please!
Simon "'Priced into my thinking" Jordan. Could listen to him all day
His greatest achievement was beating NZ in the 2003 semi-final then nearly beating England a week later with less talented players. I would rather go for a beer with him than Woodward any day of the week.
England have only ever, in their entire sporting history, reached the rugby world cup final 3 times. Eddie was one of those. And instead of celebrating that fact as a sign of massive improvement and a historical result, the second that world cup was over, they set out to undermine him. Now they reach a world cup semi final, at best, and seem happier. I just don't get it. 1 third of all England rugby world cup finals were coached by Eddie. Only two other managers in the history of English rugby have reached the final. Yet we are supposed to celebrate the likes of Gatland, Farrell, etc. Who have NEVER even got to a final. And I'm a Welsh rugby fan. ** More intelligent people than me have told me that it is 4 WC finals for England - so change the figures to 25 % for Eddie ;)
💯
4 World Cup finals
@@brettpacker2779 oops! Your right! 1991! Was only 2, so that one slipped memory. Change those figures to 1 quarter for Eddie then hah
@@drgjenkins4361 yeh.. Boks, 8 world cups played, 4 world cup wins... now thats aproper record..
Since 2019 whatever he was doing in his coaching wasn't working n we've been abysmal . That bad that getting to a semi final was a surprise coming from how crap we were .
Just put a lie detector next to the microphone 🎤
Does anybody else get the feeling that Simon Jordan is trying to look for validation of his anti woke agenda from top class sports people at every turn. Give it a rest Simon ya lemon and talk about sport.
It’s so bloody tired isn’t it. A lot of glass jaws struggling to deal with a world where social media can show them a difference of opinion.
