Eddie Jones turns to geese for inspiration ahead of rematch with Australia

The Australian is preparing his side to face the Wallabies in Townsville on Saturday and has had some unusual video sessions with the team this week.

Eddie Jones turns to geese for inspiration ahead of rematch with Australia

Eddie Jones, the coach of Japan's rugby team, is using geese as inspiration before their upcoming match against Australia. Jones believes the head goose represents the ball-carrier in rugby, with the rest of the team following suit. In a video session, Jones explained that the support players must adapt to the ball-carrier's movements.

This unique approach comes after Japan's disappointing 35-32 loss to Australia in their first match. Jones is determined to improve the team's performance and is ready for the rematch in Townsville.
