Love Eddie. 2019 World cup we played amazingly. he really did a great job. sad it didn't work out in the end.

Eddie has been infuriating, amusing and likeable and all at the same time. Great interview.

"Thanks for this interview, offering a perspective quite opposite to what the media often portrays about Eddie Jones. His coaching style, though it may take time to show results, truly elevates teams to exceptional levels of success and excellence."

Great interview

Didn't know Eddie was a Liverpool fan. Respect to you both, great interview.

Fantastic to see Simon engaging with various rugby leaders; something I wasn’t aware he had knowledge or interest in until this podcast.. love his analysis of boxing, football and rugby

Fantastic episode as always. I’ve always really liked Eddie Jones and I think what you see is what you get with him. He’s stayed true to himself throughout his career and it takes a big man to admit when they haven’t got it right. Simon’s style just makes them open up and it is brilliant! Keep em coming

Im a saffa and i love Eddie love his honesty and brazenness. I think Rassies advantage however is that leadership, owing to cultural complexity in South Africa is more finely honed - as leaders need to know to how to balance inclusion, team building and winning. No other country has to navigate these challenges.

This really is a a great interview within the sports category.👏

Great interview. Well done on getting Eddie on your show. Cheers.

Great interview, Eddie has gone up in my estimation. Very truthful and open, not what I expected.....

Another good interview Simon....loved listening to Eddie.

Eddie's description of the perfect captain sounds a hell of a lot like Siya

Great interview. Thanks guys

This is such an amazing interview. Brilliant show. Brilliant interviewer.

We miss you Eddie in England. ❤

A man who knows when he is right, stands up for the people, and acknowledges when he is wrong.

Simon absolutely killing it - brilliant podcast with great guests 👍

Great interview enjoyed it Simon … please also look at getting a rugby league player or coach on here… I know you’re into union not league but would be great to see as I love your interviews. 🏉

Awesome Simon and Eddie was brilliant, I like his style. Simon you are the best podcaster out there , period : )

Great interview - this podcast keeps getting better and better. Thanks very much to Eddie and Simon. Hope Eddie resurfaces as the England coach in about 4 years time...

Have to say Eddie. I was very wrong about you. Never warmed to you before, but you've definitely changed my opinion now. Another fantastic interview Simon 👏 👍

Everything Eddie has said about what he tried to achieve, sums up Exactly what Rassie and Nienaber achieved with the Springboks. Except the South African coaching staff, not only achieved it but proved their excellence. No player felt slighted because they were replaced. It was done for the greater good of the team and the ultimate goal. Back to back World Cup champions and four Webb Ellis trophy’s.

They, the Saffas, were given another stab at the world cup and Eddie as not supported by England. Leaving England in a quandary and then Aussie rugby decided to change tack, appoint Eddie at the loss of continuity that Rennie offered. The “Aussie Eddie project” should always have been the 2027 world cup. Rugby world cups are one in the board room. Waugh seems an inspirational choice as president. When you celebrate the bronze medal at Rugby World Cup you are on a hiding to nothing.

Eddie Jones conned Australia - he was fired by England , didn't have a job - knew that Japan had a head coach opening at the end of this year so promised Austrlia Rugby this amazing thing he would do - he had no intention to succeed he planned to fail so he could exit after the world cup and take a lucrative Japanes contract - hopefully Japan has seen he is a charlatan Eddie Jone - 9 games summary as head coach of Australia in 2023 7 losses out of 9 games Yellow cards - Australia 9 Yellow cards - Opposition 4 Penalty tries conceded - Australia 2 Penalty tries conceded - Opposition 0 World Ranking before Eddie took over 6th - current world ranking 9th Points for Australia - 160 Points against Australia - 229 Poker face Jones

No because we can see past the bullshxt, RFU and the England public are a bunch of deranged narcissistic tools, look at how they carried on when SA scraped past them in the semis, they acted like England just played the greatest test match in their entire history and prolly gonna make a movie about it, EJ England had 77 % WR reached a final and nothing but slander for Eddie in the media.

Brilliant!!!!

Say what you want about Eddie his one of the great rugby minds

If only Rugby Australia promoted the game in South Australia more.......their loss

More rugby stuff please!

Love Eddie, we were lucky in England to have him! Sadly we have a lot of idiots here too !

Why not. I’m a bok fan and 1-2yr running up to World Cup a lot of pundits were saying the that young Aus side could be special and some tipped Them to win. They just fell apart, can’t only blame Jones

Simon! Take your fingers out your mouth! Eddie, we love you. A true character in a world that loses character day by day.

Watching this just reminded me of what England Rugby has lost. He is clearly one of the best coaches in the world and the RFU let him go which to this day I find baffling.

He hit it on the nail …..in South Africa rugby union is a people’s game ….

Eddie must be the absolute antithesis of Rassie.

Guy is well loved in the squad because of his transparency & how they deal individually with players. There probably isn’t anyone else other than Razor with that type of man management. Plus see for yourself how tight the entire squad is, even look at behind the scenes currently and on social media. When Rassie took over in 2018, he did away with A & B teams and probably built the best depth in international rugby. He wanted transparency & did away with racial quotas. The squad is made up of 33 people all from varying and many from vastly different backgrounds, different languages and contexts etc yet they were all able to pull in for one common goal beyond the divide.

His Brumbies Super Rugby teams were brilliant.

Great interview. Eddie took a team that was 60% of the 2003 team who were all at there peak to the heights of rugby at the time. He did the best with what he had!

Springboks Management increased the pool of players from 2012. Look at the game winning talent developed under this excellence program

As a man and a coach I respect Eddie and when listening to him I always found myself being inspired and feeling like if he was my coach I would run through brick walls, I could go to the well and drink and I could go again and again and we would reach the goal as a team and as an individual. When he talked I was silent as he had a way which inspired me and made me believe in away which is difficult to explain but sadly over time his magic and his words lost me, what could have been is still my thoughts and i struggle now to see where he can go and achieve what he set out for. A busted flush is the saying and I hope that’s not applicable just yet as I still like and respect him but he doesn’t inspire me like he once did.

Simon getting educated outside soccer … regarding the Ella brothers… “ like having three Messi’s”. Classic. Spread the word, Eddie. The world isn’t round, it’s more spherical.

Eddie and Steve Hansen have similar views. Their thoughts on how rugby can improve are so similar but no one listens

The best rugby captains can take complicated ideas, and distill them down to 3 or 4 specific jobs. Thats what made Martin Johnson SO good.
