HAS JONES SAVED THE GOVT?
Eddie Jones is right when he talks of NZ being affected as a country by the result of the Bledisloe Cup.
The All Blacks walloped Australia in Melbourne last Saturday to retain the biggest cup (size wise) in world sport.
And will this save the Labour-Greens Government from losing its ruling position at the political pools in October?
Rugby achievements have been a factor in the past and with 84,000 people viewing the contest live in Melbourne ( 40% of them AB supporters) and many millions watching on TV, the result was a boost for the the struggling current Government of NZ.
Jones, the Australian team coach. was not joking but it may be too late if the ABs also win the Webb Ellis Rugby World Cup in France on October 28 with the final coming two weeks too late before election day.
