Sonny Bill Williams has backed Australia to win the Rugby World Cup
The Wallabies are in a horrendous run of form heading into the tournament
But Williams insists Eddie Jones will surprise his doubters in France
Eddie Jones may be in the midst of a terrible start to life with the Wallabies, but Sonny Bill Williams believes the wily coach will spring a shock at the Rugby World Cup.
Jones, 58, returned to Australia earlier this year following his England sacking, and has been tasked with transforming the fortunes of the sport Down Under, with interest in union waning.
However, he's struggled to hit the ground running on his return, losing all four of his matches in charge of the team. Understandably, expectations of the Wallabies are low heading into the tournament in France.
But Williams, who will be on punditry duty with Stan Sport during the competition, insists Australia can go all the way and win the tournament.
'They can win the World Cup,' Williams told the Sydney Morning Herald.
'They're so close. People forget how good this Australian team is. All you have to do is look at the history. Australia is the third-ranked team in the history of rugby. They've won two World Cups.
