In Lyon, the crucial match for the World Cup, Australia coach Eddie Jones is confident his team will beat Wales.

With a loss to Wales, the Wallabies will be eliminated from the World Cup pool stage for the first time in their history.

Jones remains defiant despite Warren Gatland’s side topping Pool C following maximum bonus-point victories over Fiji and Portugal.

Jones expressed his confidence that the team would win on Sunday.

At a news conference in Lyon, the Australian boss verbally sparred with journalists and at one point banged the table passionately when discussing his coaching philosophy.

In addition, Jones said he believes the Wallabies can still win the World Cup.

“I’m confident we’ll win on Sunday because of the way the team has prepared and come together,” Jones said.

Nevertheless, sometimes you have to do the work to be successful further down the road if you don’t.

As long as we beat Wales on Sunday, we’re alive and that’s all we need to be. We were always going to get this game at some point, it just came sooner than we expected.

It’s our chance to show that we can grind out the results we need. I’m confident that we will.”
