LYON:\ufeff<\/strong> Wallabies coach Eddie Jones<\/a> admits he is "vulnerable" after his Rugby World Cup flop<\/a> while continuing his attempts to distance himself from links to a job with Japan.<\/p>\n

Jones granted an exclusive interview with the UK's Daily Mail<\/a> as Australia awaits the outcome of Monday's (AEDT) final pool game between Fiji and Portugal.<\/p>\n

Unless Portugal can pull off an all-time shock by beating Fiji by eight points or more, the Wallabies will miss out on the quarter-finals for the first time.\ufeff<\/p>\n

\"Question<\/p>\n

"I have signed a five-year contract," Jones said.<\/p>\n

"Like any job, coaches are in an employer-employee relationship, and we are in a game of winning. Whenever you're not winning, the coach is vulnerable, so I am vulnerable. Does that cause extra noise? It probably does. There's been this noise about Japan, but nothing has happened. So that's just added a bit more noise to it."<\/p>\n

Jones was asked directly whether or not he \ufeffhad spoken to either the Japanese union, or any organisation or individuals acting on their behalf, as per the Sydney Morning Herald's report last month.<\/a><\/p>\n

"No. Whenever there is any noise, that creates uncertainty," he said.<\/p>\n

"I came into this job with the approach that it was going to be a long-term job, but Rugby Australia could change. If there's a change in the wind then things can happen, but my commitment was always long-term and there's no reason why that won't happen."<\/p>\n

Jones was also asked about being the target of widespread booing throughout the tournament in France.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"I don't really worry about it mate. I genuinely don't worry about it. If that's the way they want to carry on, then that's fair enough.<\/p>\n

"It's not how I'm treated in the street. I don't think I've had one person come up and jeer me in the street. Whatever people do at the ground\u2026 it's a bit like social media isn't it?<\/p>\n
