      <p>Back to the Tahs. Though young Robertson is doing well at THP and we're a bit short on LHP :think: Might mean a switch back to the other side for Sekope? Certainly its time to cut Tilse and let some new blood in.</p>

      <p>Barely? I'd say and unqualified "good" is a fair assessment at this point. Only coach to have won both a European Champions title and a Super Rugby title (and a Celtic Championship if we want to egg that pudding 😉 ).</p>

      <p>I disagree slightly with Nick, I think that's a good analogy in some ways. He has pissed plenty of people off behind closed doors at the Tahs and Wallabies, but it seems he picks fights with suits not players.</p>

      <p>That is the difference to me - Cheika will protect his players, over and above the establishment. Jones would protect anyone only so far as they would help boost his profile.</p>
      <p> </p>
      <p>You can't please all the people all the time, but the suits will shut up if the players perform. I know which is more important.</p>

        Yeah ok. Forgot the Heinekin. Qualifies as a good of the game and at this stage a very naughty boy.

          <p>I'm not saying he's the greatest of all time. But my point was his record as a great coach is safe, at least in the minds of Waratahs fans like me.</p>

          <p>You guys probably don't see it that way- that's fine. I'm not really trying to argue with you. I'm a massive fan of his and am not going to hide that, as you guys probably are with Hansen.</p>

          <p>Wasn't Jones part of the 2007 RWC Final winning team? Not Australian team perhaps. Still part of the Final winning team.</p>
          <p>So perhaps he was 87.86% more of a great than Cheika.</p>

            <p>True, he was an assistant to Jake. And he has won a Six Nations now too.</p>

            <p>Fair to say that in some ways he is the most successful international coach of all time, given his achievements for multiple sides. In SOME ways.</p>

                                      He's kinda correct though. I mean those Savea boys are from near Island Bay and Ben Smith is Green Island isn't he. <br>
                                      We're lucky the island nation of Tokoroa isn't currently represented.
