Such a lying fluffybunny. Even if the first zoom call was just the recruitment company getting his advice, he lied about that
At his Coogee Oval press conference in October, while still in charge of the Wallabies, Jones was asked directly if he had spoken with any third-party recruitment firms about the Japan job. “Not that I am aware of,” Jones said.
But speaking on Thursday night, Jones claimed the August 25 Zoom call was a conversation with the recruiters.

Eddie should get into politics once every single Rugby nation has washed their hands of him.

Need a TVNZ account to watch but here's the Steelers v Spears from yesterday
Steelers: Retallick, A Savea, Gatland, Laumape, GCT & M Little
Spears: Coleshttps://www.tvnz.co.nz/sport/rugby/japan-rugby/steelers-v-spears-round-5

I half watched that game as I worked so probably missed a bit
Coles was good in general play and picked up a couple of tries
Ardie was excellent. He had 7 on his back but packed down at 8. Scored a try from the back of the lineout and his support play was a big part of the last Steelers try in the ~75min
Commentators made a lot of noise about Laumape but I didn't really notice him do anything. Ran straight and was generally contained. Maybe I missed something? The noise to output is way off on this guy. Little subbed on and immediately made a break and got a jackal turnover in his 15mins
Decent game won by the Spears 38-34 a couple of lead changes in the last 5mins

I know it's a small list of players but man some of them left NZ too early in their careers.

We could sure use a #7 that attacks the breakdown like Boshier does.

A bit of nostalgia with that list. Felt like a who's who of Super Rugby players from 2020/2021

Vince Aso was massively underrated, he was electric at centre and wing.

He was. Was even gonna get a call up at one stage but was injured.
