Eddie Jones on Breakdown Series with Eddie Jones
Eddie Jones has had an extensive coaching career holding roles with teams including the Brumbies, Reds, Saracens, Australia, South Africa and most recently Suntory. Following on from successfully leading the ACT Brumbies to their first Super 12 title in 2001 Jones took charge of the Wallabies for the 2003 World Cup on home soil, and fell at the final hurdle as his side were defeated in extra time of the final by Clive Woodward’s England. He continued on as coach until 2005, when his contract was terminated following a wretched run of results. From here Jones had a stint in an advisory capacity with English side Saracens and in 2007 was then appointed Queensland Reds coach. He then turned his back on coaching Australia again when he signed in an advisory role with South Africa working closely with head coach Jake White, securing the 2007 World Cup. After the World Cup Jones took up a full time position back at Saracens as director of rugby but left in 2009 for a role with Japanese side Suntory.

Part 3. Eddie Jones Body position breakdown drill 8:00 Member content
It’s very important that every player in the team has the same breakdown skills, this means the ball carrier having responsibility
for the ball, winning the contact and presenting the ball well while the 2nd man is to either win the space or take away
the threat. This is a drill that the great George Smith does regularly after training to work on his body position at the breakdown.
We will focus on making sure you keep your chest low as you go forward over the breakdown and then cleaning the
threat out quickly.

Dave Robinson AustraliaWhile a lot of the concepts are familiar, it’s Eddie’s coaching cues that really resonate with me e.g. “head up, chest down”,“second fight”. I also really like his simple clarifications of each player’s roles and responsibilities in the contest for the ball. Dave Robinson, Queensland
