Rugby Australia confirms Eddie Jones has quit Wallabies, Larkham linked as replacement
Local media have linked former Wallabies flyhalf Stephen Larkham to the job, as well as his compatriot Dan McKellar, the current Leicester Tigers coach.
"Announcements regarding the future of the Wallabies coaching staff will be made in due course," Rugby Australia said in a statement. He was hailed as the saviour of Australian rugby when he returned to the national set-up in January, a month after he was sacked by England having overseen their worst season in more than 10 years.
His side flopped in the pool stages, losing to Fiji for the first time in 69 years and suffering their heaviest World Cup defeat in a record 40-6 loss to Wales.Jones faced stinging criticism for his youth selection policy, which led to the omission of several veterans including long-time skipper Michael Hooper and playmaker Quade Cooper.
