Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has fired back at comments made by Sir Graham Henry, saying he doesn't care if the former All Blacks coach believes this is the worst Wallabies team he has ever seen.

Henry's comments created a stir yesterday in the hours leading up to the Wallabies 36‑20 win over Argentina after a radio interview in which he was asked about the state of other international teams compared to the All Blacks.

Sir Graham Henry said that it's probably the worst Australian team he has ever seen and that's a real worry for the game.

You want Australia playing rugby and you want Australia playing well.

Cheika was then asked if he found the remarks disrespectful, to which he replied, that Henry can say whatever he likes however he doesn’t care about what he says.

Rugby Championship competition will now go on a two-week break before the tournament continues on the first week of October.

Springboks will play Wallabies at 3.05am on the 2nd of October while the All Blacks play Argentina at 10.10am.
