I also don't go with the criticism of Cheika.
The guy has won competitions with the Tahs, Leinster and Randwick, is the only person to coach a championship side in both hemispheres, took the Tahs from also-rans to champions and top Aus side two years in a row, has just won the TRC, and after one stumble half those on here have got the knives out.
Must be good to never make a wrong call!
Fuck me dead. This is the problem right here. Read the posts properly and take notice of the words; I don't recall anyone saying MC should be sacked, or making any kind of call on his qualifications.
What most of the criticism of Cheika is saying is that he probably got it wrong tonight. Even Eales and Gregan said as much on Fox.
You're right; I'm not a professional coach, and neither have I played for the Wallabies. I'm not a train engineer either, but I can recognise when a train has temporarily come off the rails.
In my opinion, he coached/managed poorly in preparation and it possibly cost us the Bledisloe. Or at least the opportunity to compete.
And yes, the AB's played well, blah blah blah. Pretty over saying that after 13 years.
Oh, just quietly while I am pontificating on the subject, I'm fucking over the whole "we can't win at Eden Park" as well. It's an oval, with grass and lines and posts. Using the "hoo-doo" as some kind of excuse shits me.
Anyway, carry on.
