Eddie Jones<\/a> is one step closer towards leaving Australia for Japan.<\/p>\n

That's according to the Sydney Morning Herald<\/em><\/a> who report talks have begun with Rugby Australia<\/a> for the Wallabies<\/a> head coach to abandon his current contract.<\/p>\n

Jones is on contract through to the 2027 Rugby World Cup. However, a wretched campaign in France this year in which the Wallabies were knocked out before the quarter-finals for the first time has fractured that relationship with rugby's big wigs.<\/p>\n

Jones and his representatives have sent a letter to Rugby Australia "expressing a willingness to discuss a mutual end to his time as Wallabies coach" for an early departure, according to the report.<\/p>\n

Discussions could begin as early as next week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Wallabies<\/p>\n

Jones is currently in the United Kingdom training the Barbarians with Scott Robertson ahead of their match against Wales.<\/p>\n

The report also indicates a second interview with the Japanese Rugby Football Union is set to go ahead, despite Jones repeatedly denying as much in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

Jones committed himself to Rugby Australia and the Wallabies in a press conference post-mortem.<\/p>\n

\ufeff"That's the intention," said Jones of coaching through to the next Rugby World Cup in the aforementioned press conference.<\/p>\n

"As you know, we play a game where the \ufeffcoach doesn't decide how long they stay."<\/p>\n

\"Drew<\/p>\n

A little more than a week on, it appears the first move has been made for Jones to make an early exit.<\/p>\n

Despite those comments, it would see Jones is trying to control his own destiny.<\/p>\n

"I haven't been speaking to anyone, mate," said Jones when asked about a second interview with the Japanese Rugby Football Union.<\/p>\n

Asked if he had spoken to the JRFU president Masato Tsuchida, Jones said, "Not for a long time."<\/p>\n

\"Eddie<\/p>\n

The Sydney Morning Herald reports Jones is set for a second interview. Coincidentally, he is also set to be holidaying in Japan later this year.<\/p>\n

Although an early exit is problematic in itself, staying could create just as much drama.<\/p>\n

Less than a year into the job, there's little faith in Jones from the public, pundits, or former players.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
