Former England rugby boss Eddie Jones lets rip at journalists with Australia in crisis before World Cup

PA
Former England boss Eddie Jones appears to be feeling the heat ahead of the upcoming Rugby World Cup.
The 63-year-old was hired as head coach of Australia back in January - but is yet to win a game since taking charge.
The Wallabies are winless in their last four outings and have been hampered by the resignation of key staff member Brad Davis ahead of the tournament in France.
And Jones cut an angry figure when quizzed by journalists ahead of the competition.

The former England boss was asked about his squad selections, having chosen to omit Quade Cooper and Michael Hooper from his squad.
And he snapped back by saying: "I can't believe the level of negativity here boys.
"I know what's wrong with Australian rugby, and part of you blokes have a problem because you're so bloody negative about everything, so negative about everything.
"We're going off to a World Cup you don't think we can win.
"You think the selection process is bad because the players complain, so I apologise for that.
"We'll go out there and do our best boys. So if you haven't got anything positive to say, don't ask."
And Jones capped off his rant by saying: "Thanks for the worst press conference I've ever had in world rugby.
"Well done - the worst I've ever seen."
Jones was also asked about what he sees in his squad and he sarcastically responded: "Nothing, mate. We're terrible.
"I love this negativity - it's fantastic. I love it, love it - keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going."
"We'll go out there and do our best boys. So if you haven't got anything positive to say, don't ask."
