Former Wallabies coach Eddie Jones has slammed the Super Rugby format saying it will take Australia 10-15 years to build up its playing depth.

Jones told Radio Sport the expanded format has exposed Australia's lack of playing stocks.

He says there's no way Australia can have five top class sides and they are just diluting the pool.

Jones says there's no short term turnaround and the Brumbies, Rebels and Force don't have the talent to do immeasurably better over the next few years.
