Alan Jones has taken another swipe at coach Eddie Jones after Australia's shock loss to Fiji left their World Cup campaign on life support - with the former Wallabies boss insisting a big name must be brought back into the squad.

The former radio star - who won a Grand Slam with the national side in 1984 by beating England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales - also blasted the current side for using NRL coaches and accused the current coach of using 'spin' to cover up the team's deep-seated problems.

Australia's loss to Fiji means they have to beat Wales and Portugal to avoid being knocked out of the World Cup in the pool stage for the first time ever - and Jones is adamant bringing Quade Cooper into the side is key to their survival in France.

The fly-half was a controversial omission from the coach's squad for the tournament and Jones said that needs to be rectified immediately after Carter Gordon's shocker against the Fijians.
