‘A sensible outcome’: Rugby Australia accepts Eddie Jones’s resignation

• RA CEO Phil Waugh says hindsight is a wonderful thing'
• Stephen Larkham and Dan McKellar are expected targets

Rugby Australia chief executive Phil Waugh has said he and other board members would have to live with the ill-fated decision to hire Eddie Jones, after the organisation confirmed the embattled coach has quit his post.

Jones oversaw the worst World Cup performance in Wallabies history at the tournament in France, 10 months after he had been recruited by RA on a five-year contract in a blaze of publicity.
