Watch ex-England boss Eddie Jones storm out of ‘worst press conference ever’ as he sarcastically blasts ‘we’re terrible’
FORMER England boss Eddie Jones has stormed out of a press conference and blasted journalists for their negativity.
The Australia head coach fumed at the “worst press conference ever” before sarcastically claiming “we’re terrible”.
Jones has yet to win a match since replacing Dave Rennie in January, losing all four matches so far.
Speaking to the media before his team travelled to France for the Rugby World Cup, he fumed: “I can’t believe the level of negativity here boys.
“I know what’s wrong with Australian rugby, and part of you blokes have a problem because you’re so bloody negative about everything, so negative about everything.
“We’re going off to a World Cup you don’t think we can win. You think the selection process is bad because the players complain, so I apologise for that.
“We’ll go out there and do our best boys. So if you haven’t got anything positive to say, don’t ask.”
Before storming out he added: “Thanks for the worst press conference I’ve ever had in world rugby. Well done – the worst I’ve ever seen.”
Jones was then asked what he sees in his side, to which he sarcastically responded: “Nothing, mate. We’re terrible.”
Australia lost all three of their Rugby Championship matches before being beaten by New Zealand earlier this month.

The Wallabies face France in their final pre-World Cup match on August 27 before their opening group match against Georgia on September 9.
Jones has faced criticism for leaving several key players out of his squad, including fly-half Quade Cooper.
Meanwhile, attack coach Brad Davis resigned just hours before Australia were due to fly to France for personal reasons.
Prior to taking over his native Australia, Jones coached England for seven years.
However, he was sacked last year after overseeing their worst 12 months since 2008.
