Eddie Jones shouldered the blame for Australia’s 22-15 shock defeat to Fiji at the Rugby World Cup which left the race to qualify for the quarter-finals from Pool C wide open.
Josea Tuisova's try and 14 points from goal-kicker Simione Kuruvoli helped the Pacific Islanders record their first-ever win over the Wallabies at a World Cup, and first against them in any match since 1954.Australia head coach Jones made no secret of how much the loss hurt and took full responsibility for the result, which marked the team's sixth loss in seven Tests this year.
The Wallabies constantly found themselves on the wrong side of referee Andrew Brace too, conceding 18 penalties - 11 of which came at the breakdown. Jones, however, did not use the absences as an excuse.'We can't blame the loss on Tupou or Skelton not being there,' Jones said. 'We've got to be good enough to be able to cope with that.
