Former Wallabies coach Eddie Jones blasts ARU over Lote Tuqiri sacking | The Courier-Mail
FORMER Wallaby coach Eddie Jones attacked rugby union's handling of the Lote Tuqiri dumping as "spiteful" for leaving him in club-less limbo.
Australian Rugby Union chief executive John O'Neill shut down one line of speculation when he said the police were not involved in the decision to cut loose the code's $900,000-plus-a-year star. O'Neill said he had "no problem" with the Tuqiri camp revealing the reason for the sacking but the call was with them. Tuqiri and his legal team have declined the offer. Jones said rugby's split with the dreadlocked powerhouse was "very undignified". "You don't like to see people terminated like that. It's quite sad that Lote is left without a club for a period because of registration deadlines in the NRL and French rugby," Jones said from Japan. "The worst thing is that the decision was done in spite with no thought about his welfare. Lote has been good for Australian sport. If he's not playing rugby, as a sports fan, I'd like to see him playing league." Asked if his spite gibe was directed at O'Neill, Jones said: "I won't say that but John O'Neill's previous feelings about Lote are on public record."
