[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 1090061, member: 55747"] You could argue Tuilagi is helping his motherland to lose when plays for England given they could potentially face Samoa. I mean, he's on record stating Samoa is still home. Or when CJ Stander faced RSA with Ireland. As much as i hate to admit it, patriotism is not what drives this, at least not anymore in most cases. If you challenge me on this i'd say it is case-specific. I have few doubts Cheika would want Arg to win if Arg faced Aus. I wouldn't be as confident arguing that when, just as an example, Ledesma was Aus's forwards coach. Could be, thou i sincerely doubt that's one of the criteria people select coaches on. In my experience, it is 95% skill +5% pr, and this PR only factors in if the player/coach is a nightmare or has a graveyard in his closet. Even then. I mean, look at Matera and Crusaders. He gets kicked out of Arg's captaincy and lands a job in one of the most progressive countries on the planet in a team that changed their logo because someone, somewhere, who doesn't even follow the sport, could have found it offensive. Dont try to make much sense of this. There is a little bit of sense but this is all business, even the virtue signalling portion of it. No. I am saying it is safe to assume it flows, period. If coach A leaves team X, joins team Y and then while coaching Y faces X, there is not an iota of doubt in my mind that he will use all the knowledge he has to his advantage and personally, i don't see anything wrong with that. The only thing i am not 100% sure is if the exchange will be along the lines of 1) Hey, let's put pressure on this guy, i know he has trouble in this position so lets corner him here, he'll choke. or 2) maybe we could try corning this guy, just an idea. Let's see how that goes For practical purposes, the results will be indistinguishable. He will lead his team towards a course of action that he believes maximizes their chances of winning. How he does the convincing is anecdotal at best. Odds are we will never know. [/QUOTE]
