Nor does he know whether his close buddy Eddie Jones should be invited again into the Australian Rugby overlay one year from now when his time instructing England is up.

Be that as it may, Ella needs the new prize Jones is instructing for England to keep from the Wallabies' grip to address not simply he and his siblings Glen and Gary, yet all Indigenous players.

"I'm addressing the Indigenous populace. We have had various Indigenous players, the most recent being Kurtley Beale.

"We're glad for what we have achieved inside rugby, and I'm trusting there is something else to come.

"It's difficult (to draw in more Indigenous ability in front of different games). You need to put resources into the future.

"There are various Indigenous players in non-public schools. You want to trust it tends to be finished and continue."
