Eddie Jones dream pack DOESN’T include Tom Curry

Eddie Jones dream pack of players he’s coached could compete with any team from any generation of rugby.

Looking back through the archives, the 60-year-old saves his praise for only the players he truly admires.

The Aussie, who has coached three teams that reached World Cup finals (Australia 2003, England 2019, South Africa 2007), has coached some absolute legends down the years.

Eddie Jones says Maro Itoje “will become the best lock in the world.”

Pretty sure James Ryan might have a thing or two to say about that in the months and years to come.

Four English players are included in the team with three South Africans and one Aussie making up the numbers.

Using several interviews with various sources from down the years, we’ve formed Eddie Jones dream team of the players based on the players he bestowed with the most acclaim.

DID YOU KNOW? Eddie Jones made three appearances for Leicester during the 1991/92 season in England.
