Once a powerhouse of international rugby, Australia are in tatters after Jones announced his resignation 10 months into a five-year contract.
SYDNEY - Australian rugby vowed to rebuild on Tuesday after the "bitterly disappointing" reign of Eddie Jones, who has quit as Wallabies coach following their calamitous World Cup campaign.
"We've got a lot of ground to make up and we all know that we've let down people and we need to rebuild that trust," Waugh, who previously played under Jones, told reporters.Jones will officially leave his post on November 25 but Waugh said they will not be in a rush to appoint his successor. The feisty Australian has now walked away after failing to secure backing for what he believed were much-needed reforms."As a game we need to come together and unite."Jones was hailed as the saviour of Australian rugby when he came in as Wallabies coach in January, returning to a side he coached to the World Cup final in 2003.
He would later defend the decision, saying the respected trio were not "the right role models" for a team looking to build a winning culture.
