All Blacks brush aside Austrailia, and bugging mystery

Michael Cheika is reluctant to heed fresh calls to shift Israel Folau to the centres as the Wallabies travel to Wellington striving to arrest their worst losing streak in more than a decade.

The Wallabies haven’t won a match since Cheika was named world coach of the year last November, while Saturday night’s humiliating 42-8 loss to the All Blacks was Australia’s heaviest defeat on home soil in 113 years.

Cheika is taking full accountability for the World Cup finalists’ alarming fall from grace, but has also placed his under-performing troops on notice that none is safe from the axe as they regroup to face New Zealand on Saturday.
