It seems the heat is on with Cheika having lost a series to Ireland, the disastrous EOYT and another spanking by the Kiwis. Though the ARU's high performance boss assured us Cheika's future is secure, one has to wonder how much longer they can continue to decline. He has a 51% win percentage; 47.4% at home and 43.5% away. They've lost 5 of their last 6 tests.


6 losses against England 

4 losses against Ireland

2 losses to Scotland

8 losses to New Zealand


The saving grace appears to be the Boks. Can Rassie buck that trend? The Boks tend to be an Aussie coach's lifeline.


How much longer will he last? Keep in mind that Coetzee has a 66.7% win percentage at home.

OZ are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Should have made the change... like we should have after last years Championship. With RWC19 so close they are up the creek no matter what. Probably best to boot him now and start to rebuild.

Maybe another New Zealand coach, because he may well be Australia's best coach. However, the Australian player depth is poor. They lack a tight five.

They had their shot at Jake, but messed it up by backing out of their word. He was supposed to be Aussie coach. He'd be a brilliant fix for the Wallaroo obsession of playing league in union. They just can't help themselves.

It would be nice not having to witness another Cheika tantrum.

Saturday's test also raised question marks over the fitness of the side. They were out on their feet towards the end of the first half. Sure, they had to do a lot of aggressive defending, but you still got the impression they fell short in that respect, especially given how they faded in the second half.
