Former Wallabies<\/a> coach Eddie Jones<\/a> may have thought he'd escaped the music on the other side of the world. That wasn't to be the case.<\/p>\n

In his first appearance since parting company with Rugby Australia<\/a>, fans at Principality Stadium booed the Barbarians co-coach every time his face popped up on the big screen.<\/p>\n

Ironically, Jones was in charge of 10 players from the current or former Wallabies squads in an all-comers outfit against Wales.<\/p>\n

The match also marked the end of an era for Leigh Halfpenny, who kicked all five of Wales' goals, as well as Justin Tipuric.<\/p>\n

Jones was given man of the match honours \u2013 much to the pleasure of the de facto home crowd who gave him a lengthy and rapturous applause, which he soaked in<\/p>\n

"I want to thank the crowd, having come here for 18 years and the people who've turned out and spend their hard-earned money to watch Wales through the good times and the bad, thank you very much," said Jones.<\/p>\n

"I think the man of the match was a bit of tokenism, so I'll accept it graciously but I've got to mention all of the other players out here today. Hopefully we put on a show."<\/p>\n

Jones' future beyond his Barbarians cameo is up in the air. Although, there is plenty of speculation that he'll land a job with Japan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
