Wasnât he defence coach for an England team that couldnât get out of the group in a home world cup?
I think Farrell will be a disaster as coach
Wouldnât be surprised if Cheika replaces him within a couple of years
Or maybe even Gatty

If Japan can keep this close for the first 60 I really fancy them to unleash in the last quarter.
Japan are incredible to watch
The powers that be have had their fun with them now though.
If they donât shove them into one of the big tournaments next year it will be an opportunity lost for world rugby.
Japan scrum under so much pressure on own ball they are hooking it through the looseheads legs to secure it. Kills option of carry off the base and the scrum half is under huge pressure
Super effort there on SA ball
Biggest Japanese push there since Iwo Jima
Unreal scrummaging technique from Japan
Roly Meates will be smiling watching that
Top class Japanese shushing there
Japan can do this you know
This could end up being the pick of the quarter-finals by a distance
Iâve fancied them in this one since the Scotch game. Wasnât impressed by the Saffers in the NZ game at all, completely gassed after 20 mins.
Heâs been Irelandâs defence coach. He has an unreal reputation as a top notch defence coach despite the fact that opposition teams consistently bypass his defence by firing the ball wide and running around us to score tries. Like most things with Irish rugby, itâs hard to see what the hype is based on.
Oh my days
This is rugby
This is the beautiful game
Fuck cheika. Hear his recording from yesterday? Not sure how to upload audio file
This Japanese number 9 is a cracking player.
If he played for one of the provinces heâd be acknowledged as the best scrum half in the world.
Continuity innit, more of the same
Japan getting the run of the green here. At least 4 forward passes so far not picked up by match officials.
They need to make the most of that kind of luck.
South Africa are going to be absolutely out on their feet in the second half of this game. Unbelievable high octane game. The Japs need to put some scores on the board though.
every time you watch a rubby game you come out with huge ott statements , have you just started watching sport recently? NZ defeated a team that couldnt kick the ball out of play , ran into each other and kept fouling unnecessary
Best was far from an honorable servant, his behavior in the rape trial for example
