Larkham and Cheika rift runs deep as Wallabies make World Cup changes
Wallabies great Stephen Larkham has been made the fall guy for the Wallabies woes, and he didn't mince words about his differences with Michael Cheika.

@booboo that's a good move. He's getting by on his reputation as a player, not as a coach.
Pfft, you're forgetting all those awesome tries the backs scored for the Brumbies. The ones where they joined the mauls...

Really? I like this bit more:
Newly appointed Director of Rugby Scott Johnson has been added to the set-up alongside coach Michael Cheika after the Wallabies slipped to sixth in the world following a disastrous 2018 Test season.
But Foley said there was no talk of the new structure, or whether under-pressure assistant coaches Stephen Larkham, Nathan Grey, Simon Raiwalui and Michael Byrne would remain in their posts for the main event.

He's such a ridiculous person, it baffles belief that he still gets employed.
I saw an aussie try and claim we don't like him because of the two poxy islands gibe back in 2003 . Its three poxy islands you dumb fluffybunnies. -

@NTA figured that was in line with Aussie rugby ignoring the South Island, mostly on defence.
I remember this game well. I actually religiously watched super rugby back then.
You know your teams done shit if Caleb Ralph gets four meat pies.

Cheika and Bernie can't work together as they have different opinions on what makes a good attack.
Meanwhile Cheika appears totally fine working with Nathan Grey as defence coach. A guy whose CV highlights include record scores against the teams he coaches. -

Just saw that the Tahds are playing a pre season against the Brumbies in Goulburn. Where can I place some money on a record number of ankle injuries if they are playing at the cow paddock that is the Poidevin Oval.
You think our Players Union would let the precious souls out on anything less than a pristine billiard-table?

Here are a couple of links to interesting articles about grassroots rugby in Aussie written by Geoff Parkes that are on the The Roar website
Some of their problems are also very similar to what is going on here in NZ
