After a tough start to the second Eddie Jones era, Australia headed to France for the 2023 Rugby World Cup hoping to emerge as contenders.
The Wallabies finished bottom of the Rugby Championship ladder in their first campaign since Jones returned after his sacking by England.
The experienced head coach has significant tournament expertise, and would appear to have some of the raw materials required to forge a stronger side than Australia have been over the last half-a-decade.

Here is the World Cup schedule for Australia and their possible route to the final. Get all the latest Rugby World Cup odds here.
