Cheika the man for the big occasion

The Wallabies have a serious boss for the big performance

Australia’s win over England at Twickenham last Saturday night shows me they have one serious man in Michael Cheika for organising a team for big performance. I thought they were unbelievably clinical and the second try that Bernard Foley scored, if you pulled that off in training against your B team you would be unbelievably happy. For it to come off against an England team defending for their lives it was a fantastic bit of analysis and the work between Kurtley Beale and Foley was incredible.
