The Wallabies lost three of their four games this autumn, and they have now claimed just one victory in the last nine Tests. Pressure has been mounting on Jones since the Tri-Nations, and this review is hardly going to help his cause.
“The results clearly don’t measure up to the goals that were set before the tour,” Flowers explained. “This review will begin immediately, but suggestions of a witch-hunt in our broader organisation are ridiculous.
“We have a solid strategic plan in place. There is no substance to some of the hysteria being generated in some quarters. I have said from the outset that some perspective is required here. It is critical to ensure the Wallabies return to a positive, winning culture. The review is the start of that process.”
