SAINT ETIENNE, France (Reuters) - Wallabies coach Eddie Jones said he was disappointed that Australia's World Cup destiny was no longer in their own hands but thought his players deserved credit for getting a bonus- point win against Portugal on Sunday.

The 34-14 victory left their hopes in the hands of the Portuguese, who must beat Fiji next Sunday in the final Pool C match without allowing the Pacific islanders a bonus point to keep Australia in the tournament.
