PRESS CONFERENCE
Eddie Jones, Head Coach of the Japan Rugby National Team
14:00-15:00 Wednesday, March 13, 2024
Language: The speech and Q & A will be in English.
Taking Japan to the next level
In Eddie Jones' first stint as head coach of the Japan national rugby team, his players stunned the world by beating South Africa in a match dubbed "The Brighton Miracle", and the Australian achieved his goal of elevating Japan into the world's top 10.
Now back at the helm after eight years with England and Australia, Jones wants to take Japan a step further. To do this he's demanding that his team have an obsession to be the best, and he says he has a plan to make the Brave Blossoms the speediest outfit in world rugby.
Jones will come to the FCCJ to outline how he hopes to take Japan to the next level, and the obstacles they may face along the way.
