MELBOURNE : Australia coach Eddie Jones is yet to finalise his staff or settle on his best squad but is convinced the Wallabies have more than enough time to transform themselves into World Cup winners by the time the tournament kicks off in France.

"We understand what the gap is and that it'll take the coaching staff and the players to work hard and to work smart to fill the gap."And they went on to win the World Cup in 2019. So in a short period of time, you could change the team remarkably, you could change an individual remarkably ... And that's the job."

Jones has also pushed Rugby Australia to tweak the 'Giteau Law' - the Wallabies' selection policy for players based overseas which currently limits him to three picks per series or tournament."We've got to make a selection for the first Rugby Championship and that's obviously the first test."
