Former Wallaby coach Eddie Jones vowed Monday to bring his attacking style of rugby to Japan's national team, the day after after piloting Suntory Sungoliath to the country's top club title.
Jones will become the Brave Blossoms' coach in April on a four-year contract and has pledged to make the team a top-10 contender by the 2015 World Cup in England.
"Suntory's philosophy of how they play is my philosophy," Jones said after his team beat defending champions Panasonic Wild Knights 47-28 in the play-off final of Japan's premier 14-team professional rugby union Top League.
"That's how we're gonna play for Japan," said the 52-year-old Australian, who guided his home country to the 2003 World Cup final, which they lost to England. (AFP)
