    <p>I'm beginning to think those defensive efforts against Wales and England have gone by the wayside.</p>

    He's having a bad run alright but have to say I like the guy. It really did look like last year he was the great saviour of aussie rugby. Hoping he learns from the last few games and comes back stronger, Horror run of injuries this year but will force him to blood some new fellas

    <p>Maybe his team would play more professionally and he and his team would get more respect from officials of he presented himself more professionally. The 'one of the boys' look of the sloppy suit and unshaven face might go down well among the uncouth ockers but I would think there is some way it contributes to how seriously others take him.</p>

    <p>I am. I'm not saying it is right but presenting an unprofessional image then moaning about not being treated professionally just seems stupid. FFS the guy is in a well paid important job and appears as a 'face' of the game. I wouldn't turn up at work looking like he does to a press conference and I'm certainly no suit and tie guy.</p>

    <p><strong>ARU PRESS ANNOUNCEMENT: </strong>Daniel Craig appointed Wallabies coach because some Kiwi bloke says the ugly fluffybunny who can't help how he looks or how he speaks wasn't winning games.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>"Sure fire RWC2019 victory!" proclaims ARU boss Bill Pulver, "though we think it might also be the gun... who fucking cares as long as we're winning!"</p>

    <p>To be honest, that wouldn't actually be the stupidest thing the ARU is capable of.</p>

    I do think Moore has a problem though. Could be his reputation proceeded him, but it seems refs don't want a bar of him. Has he been a dick to refs before?<br><br>
    Don't know what the solution is. But I'm pretty sure it isn't Cheika getting a makeover.

    Would need A LOT of plastic surgery. <br><br>
    Moore can't turn off his game brain or at least filter it before it gets to his mouth. Difficult to master smashing rucks one minute and then politely asking about the quality of cucumber sandwiches the next

    Yes I couldn't watch the whole game today but not sure Moore is really top hooker or suitable captain material at the moment.

    <p>I don't give a rats how Cheika rtes in the looks dept, my comment with in regard to how he presents himself like Larry the Lounge Lizard. He cultivates an unshaven sloppy look and allows himself to be filmed swearing at referees decisions or rolling his eyes.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>None of that will endear him to anyone and asking for respect when all outward signs are that you don't show any respect yourself is pissing in the wind.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>It may work in the rag trade but I'd have thought he could tidy his act up for the international stage.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>If people you work with look like that they only get away with it if brilliant or paying your wages. If not, they are thought of as slobs.</p>

    Was that after the penalty where Allalatoa was flat on his face and Crockett was still on his feet?<br><br>
    Someone mentioned his myopia. They weren't wrong. It's not a sign of intelligence.

    Cheika's constant whinging about refereeing decisions makes me think he personally educates Stephen Moore on how to adress and commune with match officials. Pathetic

    Was Cheika drunk during tonight's game? His behaviour was a disgrace and his side are the worst and least likeable Aussie team I can remember. It's for his employer to step in and tell Cheika to pull himself together or give up being an international Rugby coach.

    <p>Im beginning to think he is on a similar level to Deans and McKenzie , who were also reasonably good coaches , and it really doesnt matter who coaches them , </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>The Allblacks are better because they are better . </p>

    He's certainly not Mr Charisma. Every interview he comes across as a sullen fluffybunny, offended that people have the temerity to ask him questions.

    <p>He's a pub social team captain masquerading as an international coach. Guy is a myth and is getting found out big time. </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>They'll get the arse by the Argies at Twickeham and i'll be laughing all night long. </p>
