England coach Eddie Jones has certainly been vocal since being in Australia.

Since arriving in Australia two weeks ago - and even before leaving England - Jones has consistently alleged there is an organised strategy of dirty tricks within Australian rugby to criticise his players, influence referees and distract his squad from victory.

“Everything that’s done around the game is going to be co-ordinated, all co-ordinated to help Australia win,” Jones said on arrival.

In angry tirades this week, he has twice slammed Australian media and ex-players this week for the disrespectful and demeaning treatment.

He slammed FoxSports’ promotional clips and then comments by Phil Kearns that England’s prop Dan Cole was using illegal tactics in the first Test.

“Phil is part of an organised campaign and he is playing his role,” Jones said.

“Every couple of days someone comes up with something. I have been part of it, so let’s not beat around the bush, we know how it works here. Now it’s Dan Cole’s turn, next time it’ll be someone else’s turn. Maybe me.”

The Wallabies have mostly ignored Jones’ wacky theory but having taken on a life on their own through repetition, Wallabies backs coach Stephen Larkham finally dismissed the notion they had their hands on the levers.

“It’s not coming from us. I haven’t read a lot of the media over the last few weeks. It is not a tactic from us,” Larkham said.

“If it is out there, it’s coming from the people putting it out there. Most of it is just perception.”

Larkham played under Jones at the Brumbies and the Wallabies and knows his former coach better than most.

Asked if Jones’ “co-ordinated campaign” theories and media strategies were part of his standard operating procedure, Larkham said: “Pretty much. He is a very clever thinker and unless you are inside his camp you are never really sure what angle he is coming from.”

Despite the war of words opening up new fronts every day - Bob Dwyer and Joe Marler’s engagement has fuelled more headlines on Wednesday - the Wallabies have taken their own strategy to focus steadfastly on themselves, and not the external circus.

Larkham said the Wallabies felt like they’d played well enough to win in Brisbane, and wouldn’t be distracted by external commentary.

“We had a loss on the weekend which is disappointing because we certainly felt like we played well enough to win,” Larkham said.

“There are reasons why we didn’t win and we want to make sure we eliminate as many reasons as possible this week, and keep the focus on us as opposed to stopping England or focusing on what is going on with England. We want to prove to be the better team.

“Overall we were pretty pleased with the way we performed. The disappointing thing is the end result. We say it every week, we would rather have a great performance than have a poor performance and win the game.”
