Eddie Jones
New DHL Stormers coach Eddie Jones is set to arrive in Cape Town later this week, a team spokesperson confirmed on Monday.
Jones recently signed a deal with the Cape franchise after not renewing his contract as Japan coach.
He coached Japan in impressive fashion at the Rugby World Cup, masterminding a 34 / 32 upset win over the Springboks – a result which will go down as the biggest upset in the tournament’s history.
Japan also beat Samoa (26 / 5) and the USA (28 / 18) at the Rugby World Cup, but finished 3rd in Pool B, behind South Africa and Scotland. It was the 1st time a team had won 3 pool games and did not progress to the quarterfinals.
Jones will hope to produce similar heroics with the Stormers, who have never won the Super Rugby tournament.
Eddie (Indiana) Jones !
Kyk hoe bang is al die ander SA spanne nou.
@ Ben-die-Bul: ja, and so you should. When Eddie sees a lion he sees red. When Eddie sees blue he also sees red. 😆
