BREAKING: Eddie Jones reportedly departs Wallabies for new job

His future with the Wallabies has remained uncertain, even though the 58-year-old coach returned to Australia just nine months ago.

'Current Australian national team coach Eddie Jones is expected to return as the successor to Joseph,' the story read, via Fox Sports.

'This spring, Masato Tsuchida, president of the Japan Association, with whom he has had a honeymoon relationship since his days at Suntory, contacted him.

'Contract negotiations have been held privately behind the scenes, and preparations are underway for (his) return (for the first time) since the 2015 World Cup, which led them to a historic three wins.'

Let's venture into the realm of imagination and explore the potential trajectory that awaits Borthwick's formidable team.

After a historic defeat to the Pacific Islanders last month, England is poised to seek redemption in the quarter-finals. Steve Borthwick's squad aims to erase the memory of their lackluster performance, and with their recent form, they stand a strong chance of advancing to the semi-finals.

If the French can secure victory against South Africa in the quarter-finals, they will face England in Paris in the next stage. Despite Dupont's injury, he will be available for the match. However, England might capitalise on a fatigued French team that expended every ounce of effort to eliminate the Springboks in the previous round.

To be the best you've got to beat the best. Steve Borthwick's men will have to beat the number one side in the world if they're to lift the Webb Ellis Cup for a second time.
