Rugby Australia CEO Raelene Castle has thrown her support behind Wallabies coach Michael Cheika, declaring his job safe until next year’s World Cup despite “disappointing” Bledisloe Cup performances.
Cheika’s Wallabies have been put under the microscope in the wake of two Bledisloe Cup thumpings in as many weeks.
In the lead‑up to last week’s Auckland Test, some media reports suggested losses against South Africa and Argentina in the next two Rugby Championship Tests would be enough to put his job into question.
Castle did not validate those claims despite admitting the 38‑13 and 40‑12 losses to New Zealand were “disappointing”.
The All Blacks will meet Argentina at 7.35pm next Saturday while the Wallabies will meet the Springboks at 10pm next Saturday.
