@nta said in Pumas vs Australia:

Well, fuck. Wasn't expecting that.

Cheika goes mental and they finally show something.

Surely it cant be the first time hes gone mental in a dressing room.
Just for once it worked.

Just watched it and Aussie backs (including that back wearing no.7) running good lines and support in the second half.

Good comeback by Aussie after looking hopeless in the first 40.

Gotta say that the Argies defensive pressure was passive at best.

Probably not. But of what I have seen of their play this year, it was the absolute of rock bottom (touch wood), and warranted a spray.

Watched much of second half out of one eye. Aussie backs suddenly looked good and got passing going.
Credit to them for having the grit and composure to keep it all together.
Cheika's message that ARFU were in process of rerouting return flight to Christmas Island worked.

"IF YOU fluffybunnies ARE TRYING TO GET ME SACKED REMEMBER SOMEONE ELSE PROBABLY WOULDN'T PICK HALF OF YOU RETARDS!!! GOOD LUCK FINDING JOBS!!"

And suddenly competency appears.

Good to see that putting a good old fashioned rocket up the players arses can still do the trick.

Yep, I"ve got a bit of humble pie to eat for @nta as well. I didn't see his style getting results. I'm still not convinced it'll work long term, but it sure as shit lit a fire when they needed it.

Ranting and raving like that is really old school. Was interesting to see both teh NZ and SA dressing rooms at the half over there - both seemed very calm, collected places.

Still, results are what matter. I have issues with his coaching generally, but I'm just some anorak wearing dude in NZ surfing the interweb in my undies, so who gives a shit what I think

[Rapido]

All I've seen is about 10 seconds of him being angry, is there more to it? I was expecting a thermo-nuclear meltdown.

Yours sincerely,
Underwhelmed.

Can't see the video bc its in NZ restricted zone, but there didn't seem to be much of the rant broadcast.

Would love to get a hold of that feed as I reckon with the whole grabbing Foley's jersey as a preview, it would have been fairly spesh.
