LYON, France (Reuters) - Australia's Eddie Jones says he is not ready to settle for a 9-5 job just yet and still gets a rush from coaching at the World Cup two decades after taking his first team to the showpiece tournament.

Jones's fifth World Cup campaign is hanging by a thread and although the 63-year-old accepted a loss to Wales on Sunday and a pool-stage exit might cost him his job, he was still excited to be doing it.
