SYDNEY : Newly-installed Wallabies coach Eddie Jones is looking to reverse the talent drain from Australian rugby union and bring back former schoolboy internationals who defected to rugby league.
Without disclosing any specific names, Jones said he would be looking to do something similar for the Wallabies this time around. One of the brightest young talents in the league, Joseph Sua'alii, played Rugby Sevens for Australia, for example, while his Sydney Roosters teammate Angus Crichton played for Australian schoolboys in 2013-14.
"First mission is to win the World Cup, that's the first prize and we haven't won that for a while," Jones added.
