Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has described criticism from All Blacks coach Steve Hansen on the way he has handled media this Test series as "shallow" and a "pot shot".

Hansen said that Cheika had allowed England coach Eddie Jones to bully him in the media with little response.

Cheika said Hansen's comments were relatively shallow for any rugby coach to make, with the Wallabies a pretty easy target.

He said they will not lose their belief because they have lost a game and they are going to back their guys as they always do and prepare to be the best this weekend.

The All Blacks will face Wales at 7.35pm Saturday, the Wallabies will meet England at 10pm while the Springboks will host Ireland at 3am Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Vodafone Flying Fijians will face Georgia at 3pm Friday at the ANZ Stadium and you can catch the live commentary of this match on our sister station Viti FM.
