Eddie Jones and the Wallabies to feature in Drive to Survive-style behind-the-scenes documentary

Eddie Jones has joked producers of a brand new documentary centered on the Wallabies must minimize him out of most scenes, ‘given all of the garbage we discuss’.

The 63-year-old coach and his staff are the topic of a brand new fly-on-the-wall documentary that can raise the veil on the Wallabies’ internal sanctum.

Produced by Australian tv manufacturing firm CJZ and Karlinberg Leisure – which was based by Karl Stefanovic and Richard Weinberg – the documentary will air on Stan.

The digital camera crew have been granted behind-the-scenes entry, filming Jones’ response within the dressing room to last week’s 43-12 battering in Pretoria against South Africa.

Not that Jones, in his second stint in control of the Wallabies, expects to function prominently within the documentary.

‘Many of the stuff they’ll have to chop from me, given all of the garbage we discuss,’ Jones informed the Sydney Morning Herald.

‘It is the fashionable day. It is what occurs with each staff. You have to promote your staff to the broader viewers.

‘It hasn’t been impactful. They’re fairly skilled guys. They have an inclination to not disrupt the movement of the staff.’

Final week, Jones lashed out at a ‘smart arse’ South African reporter who identified the Wallabies coach had questioned the Springboks’ resolution to discipline a reshuffled staff, resting a few of their gamers for the journey to New Zealand.

‘South Africans are good at successful. You do not have to be a wise arse mate,’ Jones mentioned in response.

‘It is best to have extra respect mate. I by no means mentioned that mate. I mentioned we all the time wish to play the very best. Present some respect

Cameras began rolling on the Wallabies’ coaching camp on the Gold Coast in April and can observe the staff all through the Rugby Championship and the World Cup in France in September.

In keeping with the Sydney Morning Herald, producers are hoping the documentary will have an effect on rugby much like what Netflix’s Components 1: Drive to Survive has had on motor sport’s high class.

Throughout 5 seasons, the present has been credited with elevating the game’s profile and successful over tens of millions of latest followers.

‘We wish to develop the sport as a lot as we will for the typical viewers,’ collection producer Tim Vincent mentioned.

‘That is the place a few of the different reveals have been profitable, like Drive to Survive.

‘It has branched out and obtained girls enthusiastic about Components One.

‘We would like to have the identical factor right here with rugby.’

Rugby Australia chairman Hamish McLennan revealed talks over a documentary started three years in the past, however Jones’ predecessor, Dave Rennie, didn’t need cameras following the staff.

‘Eddie and the gamers have totally embraced the documentary, which will probably be an excellent showcase of Australian rugby and our rebuild.

‘Stan have been good,’ he mentioned.
