I did not know that Eddie Jones' mother was in fact Japanese.   She went to the US and in the 2nd World War was held in a camp in the US.   At the end of the War she was deported to Japan and met his father then.   
They moved to Australia and he was borne there.  He married a Japanese lady - they have a daughter who lives in Australia and although 75% Japanese behaves like an Australian and does not adhere to Japanese customs.
Under the circumstances I am a bit surprised about him and his wife moving to Cape Town - must be the elegant Cape Town life that attracted them .

 Mike there is huge prestige in coaching the Stormers. Eddie knows he will have consideravble talent at his disposal and will live in one of thebeauty spots in the wolrd.
I wish Eddie all the best and hope he doesnt fall foul of quo tas etc as he wont have dealt with this nonsense anyhwere in the world.
