Australia is set to be eliminated from the Rugby World Cup preliminaryphases for the first time ever. There is a prevailing sense of despair as the Wallabies appear poised to depart from the competition at the pool stage, an unprecedented occurrence, following a demoralizing 40-6 defeat.
Australia has been profoundly startled by their rugby team's unprecedented loss in a World Cup match, which appears to position them for an early exit from the competition during the pool stage, an occurrence never before witnessed.
The Australian national rugby team, known as the Wallabies, who had achieved the title of world champions on two occasions, suffered a significant defeat of 40-6 against the Welsh national team. This defeat not only marked a substantial setback for Australia but also stands as the most severe defeat over Wales in their history.
The team, which has previously suffered a defeat to Fiji, has one remaining group encounter scheduled against Portugal. In order to enhance their prospects of progressing to the knockout round, it is imperative for them to secure victory in the upcoming encounter and rely on favorable outcomes in subsequent matches.
The Australian and The Daily Telegraph newspaperscharacterized the situation as "Rock Bottom: Wallabies worst nightmare comes true."
The recent setback intensifies the scrutiny on Eddie Jones, the head coach of the Australian team since he has experienced a series of seven losses in eight games since assuming his position in January. Jones informed Stan Sportthat there was a collective sentiment of disappointment among all individuals involved in the outcome.
“„Whether we’ve hit rock bottom I don’t know, but I’ve got to take responsibility for it.- Eddie Jones
According to some media sources, there have been claims that the experienced coach has undergone an interview process with the Japan Rugby Union about the possibility of leading their squad subsequent to the event.
It is worth noting that the coach currently has a contractual agreement with the Australian side that extends until the year 2027. Jones has faced significant criticism for his decision to choose an inexperienced group for the World Cup.
A rugby reporter wrote in the Sydney Morning Herald:
“„The Eddie Jones experiment can officially be declared a disaster after the Wallabies all but crashed out of the World Cup in record-breaking fashion.- Tom Decent
A former Australian fly-half expressed his opinions on the social networking platform X, previously known as Twitter:
“„Shattered for @Wallabies but congrats to my valley friends.- Matt Giteau
A former New Zealand international and current commentator for Stan Sport, Sonny Bill Williams expressed sympathy for the Australian team and their traveling fans, who departed the stadium in large numbers before the end of the match.
“„That second half, they looked like a team that just lost belief.- Sonny Bill Williams
The double World Cup winner with the All Blacks also added:
“„Forty-six was really embarrassing and I feel for these kids. They’re going to carry this on for the rest of their careers and feel this until they get to come back here again and rectify it.- Sonny Bill Williams
Wallabies Facts
The Wallabies are the nickname of the Australian national rugby union team, which represents Australia internationally in the sport of rugby union. In 1899, the team's first test match was played against a touring British Isles squad, and they won.
With two victories and two runner-up finishes, Australia has qualified for all nine Rugby World Cups. In the 1991 final, Australia defeated England at Twickenham, and in the 1999 final, Australia defeated France in Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.
Along with their southern hemisphere rivals Argentina, New Zealand, and South Africa, the Wallabies compete yearly in The Rugby Championship (previously the Tri-Nations). They've taken home the trophy four times now.
Final Words
Australia also competes in international rugby test matches against other countries. There are more than a dozen ex-Wallabies in the World Rugby Hall of Fame.
