[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1090709, member: 74121"] Yes, I completely missed the glory days of Super Rugby sadly. Hopefully the Aussies can continue their improvement and make Super Rugby Pacific (and the RC) a strong competition. This year was already unrecognisable from 2017 when the best Aussie side had 6 wins, 9 losses. This is why I always thought Cheika did really well, because he was having to a coach a group of, literally, losers. He is a polarising figure it seems but I do wonder if the Australian union has already blown it by letting Scott Johnson go. He has clearly got to be the main cause of their revival this year (given the remit of his role) and would have presided over Scotland getting to a RWC semifinal but for the false intervention of a ref. Sure, he ruthlessly pursued eligibility criteria but with Australia he has shown he is not a 'one trick pony'. Scotland appear to have headed into a gradual and ongoing decline since his departure and I wonder if Australia will do likewise.
