Wallabies coach Eddie Jones

I’m disappointed that we haven't controlled our own destiny.

Wallabies coach Eddie Jones stated this during their post match conference after beating Portugal 34-14 saying they want to control their own destiny in the the pool games and they did not do that.

Jones says he takes full responsibility for that.

He says the squad would have three days off before reassembling at their training camp just in case Portugal get the job done in Toulouse.

Jones also jokes about Koroibete and Vunivalu doing something.

The Flying Fijians play Portugal at 7am next Monday.

For Fiji to make it to the quarter-finals they only need 1 point which means either a win or a draw.

In games coming up this week, New Zealand play Uruguay at 7am Friday while France face Italy at 7am Saturday.
