Eddie does not have a great reputation in Australia.

Interesting.... What do people make of him over there?

He’s on a ginormous wedge with England and on a good thing there

He does not dislike rugby league

He has repeatedly spoken about his admiration of it

The guy is box office and would be great to get him in the NRL

Over here certainly 

He was Australias national coach back in the day in fact in 2003 when he lost in the final.

Would be a huge publicity boost but might end up like Wigan's 'new' coach cough cough

Rugby Union does not get much coverage in Australia.

Jones is considered controversial in many of his comments and is not well liked in general.

He has played and Coached all over the World, I hope he stays in England and never comes home, if he even considers Australia home.

Schadenfreude!

Isn't he the new Warrington centre?

He’d be a controversial pick for an NRL team. Many would wonder why he was given a job instead of someone who has both a profile and a RL background.

He’s generally viewed like that over here too, but perhaps England Union fans have a greater affinity to him because they can relate to his pompous arrogance

How on earth could the Cronulla Sharks afford him? How on earth is John Morris’ job at risk.

Its a made up story, although it’s a shame it didn’t make the news on the BBC RU webpage.
