Groucho

Interesting comment Groucho. I think the general consensus is that Cheika, and the rest of the support team, have done an amazing job so far and I can't recall reading any bad press or criticism of his methods. It could be said he has been playing his part to perfection and this in itself may be cause for concern. Surely, at some point in this tournament, he is going to get something horribly wrong..well, maybe that would stretching it, but it could be something as simple as a contentious call back firing. I am praying that the situation surrounding Folau, Pocock & Gits does not turn out to be the call that has serious ramifications.
Anyway, pointless to worry to much and I am really looking forward to this weekend. As much as I have enjoyed the plethora of rugby each week I am very much looking forward to the business end of the RWC.
No bad press or criticism?
jollyswagman, Cheika's earned a great deal of popular trust by beating Wales and England, and by his calls proving right, but in the early days of the tournament he was subject to ferocious criticism.
You'd have to have a special browser plugin that filters out the words "reckless", "stupid" and "incompetent" to have missed it.
You'd also have not to had gone anywhere near the Roar, or read anything by Spiro Zavos. If you're like me, you do both those things as a matter of course.
