[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 820875, member: 12207"] Some of you kiwis really get upset by Cheika don't you? He barely seems to exist in Australia - that's how little coverage he gets, but over there you get as worked up about him as a bunch of Trump supporters seeing Hilary Clinton. Don't really know why you even care to be honest - you're bloody winning after all, so who gives a ****? As for having the players, we really don't... pretty well every NRL player that comes over to Union walks into the Wallabies - even guys who were stuck in 2nd grade NRL like Naiyaravoro - a guy who never got close to Origin, let alone the Kangaroos - made the Wallabies. That alone tells you everything you need to know about our player stocks. The fact is though that Rugby has in reality always been a minor sport generally limited to little enclaves in Sydney and Brisbane and played nowhere else - we've just happened to punch above our weight on occasion (a bit like you lot in the league). Go spend a bit of time in Melbourne during Super Rugby and you'd swear the game didn't exist in Australia at all - that's why it's kinda funny to most Aussies how worked up some of you blokes get about Cheika lol. Still though, your failure to address the central point here on its merits kinda confirms my suspicion you're just here to whine and complain - which is kinda funny considering how much you hate it when Cheika does it.
