Eddie Jones has committed his future to coaching Australia and again denied speculation linking him with a return to Japan spins
Australia crashed out of the Rugby World Cup at the group stage for the first time after defeats to Fiji and Wales, but the former England coach insists he has no plans to move spins
“I’m staying mate,” he told reporters in Australia spins
“I’ve always been committed to Australian rugby, I want to leave it in a spins better place, and that’s still the job spins
“It’s not absolutely my decision spins
We play in a game where the coach doesn’t decide how long they stay spins
We’ve got a review going forward and we’ll see what happens at the end of the review spins
”Jones, who took over from Dave Rennie in January a month after being sacked by England, said he had “no idea” where the story came from about him speaking to Japan about a coaching role spins
“I haven’t spoken to anyone, mate,” he said spins
Rugby Australia has announced an independent review into the World Cup performance, but Jones believes his decision to select a young team will pay dividends when Australia hosts the next World Cup in 2027 spins
“I went to the World Cup, came in (with) a short period of time, had to make a decision on the team, made a decision we needed to go with youth,” he said spins
“And whilst, the results at the World Cup weren’t the results we wanted, I think I’ve left the Australian team in a great position to go on to 2027 spins
“We had the courage to go with a younger squad and I think this squad is going to stand Australia in good stead spins
We have the nucleus of a really good team spins
”He continued: “We just weren’t good enough, mate spins
You’ve just got to watch the quarter-finals on the weekend spins
“We’re not at that level and we can’t pretend to be at that level, but can we be at that level by 2027? Yes we can spins

What a difference a week makes spins
Last weekend, the Stade de France was treated to the two greatest Rugby World Cup quarter-finals of all time, perhaps the best pair of sporting events ever witnessed at a single stadium in the space of 24 hours spins
Five days on, New Zealand comfortably dispatched an out-gunned and overmatched Argentina side 44-6 to begin semi-final weekend with a contest that not only won’t go down in the folklore of the French national stadium, but may well be forgotten by the majority of spectators here before they get home spins
Not every match can be a classic and, make no mistake, the All Blacks won’t mind one bit that their passage to a record fifth men’s Rugby World Cup final was so serene spins
They were simply superb and came perilously close to breaking their own record margin of victory in a World Cup semi-final (a 49-6 hammering of Wales in 1987) but had to settle for just the 38-point triumph in a seven-try demolition spins
Their ruthlessly efficient performance suggests the crisis of the summer of 2022 is well and truly behind them spins
A mouth-watering battle with South Africa to become the first four-time winners of this competition next Saturday seems almost inevitable spins
But from the adrenaline-fuelled highs delivered by last weekend’s iconic double-header, this was the ultimate comedown spins
From a flat atmosphere more reminiscent of a warm-up match than a World Cup semi-final, to a one-sided encounter that demonstrated the gulf in class spins between the teams, the feeling that this was an event very much “after the Lord Mayor’s show” was unavoidable throughout spins
Which is to take nothing away from New Zealand – you can only beat who’s in front of you spins
Perhaps it was an inevitable consequence of World Rugby’s ludicrous decision to decide the World Cup groups three years ahead of the tournament, which led to an almost hilariously lopsided draw spins
The four best teams in the world did battle with each other, in Paris while four more flawed but relatively even teams also competed on a quarter-final weekend for the ages spins
When the elite two then face the weaker pair with a place in the final at stake, this damp squib of a semi-final is an unfortunate inevitability spins
The intensity of the Argentina celebrations and laps of honour after they beat Wales in the last eight suggested they had come as far as they believed they could and New Zealand ruthlessly confirmed that spins
New Zealand ran in try after try against Argentina (Getty Images)For the underdogs to stand any chance of causing the upset, they needed a fast start spins
It took until the 39th minute of the quarter-final for the Pumas to finally get on the scoreboard, by which time Wales should have been out of sight – the fact that Warren Gatland’s men were only 10 points to the good at that stage eventually came back to haunt them but there was faint hope New Zealand would be similarly wasteful spins
A week later, Argentina struck first as a sustained spell of possession in the All Blacks 22 from the opening kick-off led to three points from the boot of Emiliano Boffelli but any hope that would lead to the start of something special was soon extinguished spins
The Pumas had plenty of ball in New Zealand territory as they went through the phases, yet the Black wall stiffened once they entered the 22 where their breakdown work, led by the formidably impressive back row of Shannon Frizell, Sam Cane and Ardie Savea, became more aggressive spins
Jackalled turnovers were the norm and whereas Argentina were profligate, the All Blacks turned ball into points, usually off the back of their dominant maul spins
An early turnover in their own 22 led to a march down the field where a couple of phases in the tight after a 5m lineout created space wide on the right spins
Richie Mo’unga’s long pass to Will Jordan exploited this as the winger dived over for what would be the first of a treble on the day spins
Mark Tele’a had been dropped for the quarter-final win over Ireland due to breaching team protocol but, restored to the team in place of Leicester Fainga’anuku after a week in the wilderness, showed his class to have a huge hand in the second and third tries of the first half spins
His opportunistic turnover on his own 22 after 13 phases of Pumas attack started a spell of gorgeous All Blacks running rugby as they sliced and offloaded their way up the pitch off for Jordie Barrett skittle through tackles for the try in the corner spins
Tele’a then showed off his power just before half-time as he barrelled and spun through three defenders to take New Zealand within inches of the line, where Frizzell could jog over in the corner on the following phase spins
Jordie Barrett crashed over for the All Blacks’s second of seven tries (Getty Images)Given that no team had ever overcome a half-time deficit greater than seven points to win a World Cup semi-final, the 20-6 lead at the interval suggested it was game over spins
All doubt was removed just two minutes after the break when an All Blacks scrum on the 22 splintered the Pumas pack and the ageless Aaron Smith cut inside one defender, dummied past another and slid spins between two more for a sumptuous try spins
From there, it was just the formality of completing the final 38 minutes to confirm a 34th New Zealand win in 37 editions of this fixture spins
They refused to take their foot off the gas as Frizell burrowed over the line for try number five and Jordan ran in two more to make it a remarkable 31 tries in 30 Tests for him and a tournament record-equalling eight at this World Cup as the toothless Pumas were further declawed spins
His hat-trick score on 74 minutes was a thing of beauty as, starting in his own 22, he weaved spins between three defenders, then chipped over another on halfway before collecting his own kick to race in for the score spins
Message well and truly sent spins
The All Blacks have become World Cup specialists over the past 15 years and yet more history is now within their grasp spins
This semi-final may not live long in the memory but lifting the Webb Ellis Trophy for the fourth time certainly would spins
That reality is now deservedly just 80 minutes away spins
