Australian Story

In A Different League (27x22)

:

When Michael Cheika quit as Wallabies coach following the team's poor performance at the 2019 Rugby World Cup, many Australian fans were happy to see the back of him. But three years on, he's never been in greater demand. As head coach of Argentina's national rugby side, Cheika recently clocked up wins against Australia and New Zealand, but it's his other national coaching job that is raising eyebrows. This week, he takes lowly ranked Lebanon to the Rugby League World Cup in Britain. In a revealing Australian Story, Michael Cheika looks back over an eventful life and often controversial career. He addresses the criticism that was levelled at him in the wake of the 2019 World Cup and explains why he switched codes to honour his Lebanese heritage and why he still feels like an outsider.
