Rugby World Cup: Preview of the home nations' fixtures this weekend<\/h3>\n

Eddie Jones was left red-faced at the Rugby World Cup after Australia were thumped 40-6 by Wales in Pool D. Former England coach Jones had spoken out ahead of the showdown and insisted he had \u201cno doubt\u201d his team would come away with victory.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got no doubt we\u2019ll win, got no doubt,\u201d Jones told reporters ahead of the match. \u201cThe way the team\u2019s prepared, the way they’ve come together, I’ve got no doubt we’ll win.\u201d<\/p>\n

And when quizzed over why he was so confident his side would be victorious after he had lost six of his seven matches since returning to the helm for a second stint as coach in January, the 63-year-old explained: \u201cBecause we\u2019ve had a really good preparation and the way the players rebounded after the Fiji game.<\/p>\n

“You\u2019ve got a choice whether you want to get stuck in and go again and keep working hard and improving – that\u2019s what I\u2019ve seen from the players.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jones had even gone as far as asserting that Australia could win the tournament, despite the fact they suffered a shock defeat to Fiji last weekend. \u201cYeah, 100 per cent,\u201d he added. \u201cBut we\u2019ve got to beat Wales on Sunday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Australia were second best against Wales from start to finish at the OL Stadium in Lyon, with Warren Gatland\u2019s side needing just three minutes to score the first try of the night as scrum-half Gareth Davies crossed the whitewash, with Dan Biggar converting. Australia No 10 Ben Donaldson then hit back with a pair of penalties to reduce his side\u2019s deficit to 7-6, but replacement Wales fly-half Gareth Anscombe added three penalties to give his side a 16-6 lead at half time.<\/p>\n

Wales refused to yield after the interval as Anscombe kept the points ticking over with the boot. And the Ospreys half back played a key role in the second try of the night as his chip forward was picked-up by Nick Tompkins, who dotted down. Anscombe converted and added another three penalties before Jac Morgan scored a third try of the evening as the European side enjoyed a night to remember across the channel.<\/p>\n

The result means Wales are now eight points clear of Fiji at the top of the Pool C table ahead of their final match against Georgia on Saturday, October 7. And Gatland\u2019s men should now reach the quarter-finals as Pool C winners to set-up a showdown with the runners-up of Pool D. Samoa, Japan and Argentina are all chasing second spot in Pool D after England stormed clear at the top courtesy of their 71-0 victory over Chile on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
