Cheika: Tough guys don’t quit

– Desperate Australia coach Michael Cheika remained defiant ahead of a Rugby Championship final-round clash against Argentina today that could decide his fate.

“I keep getting asked whether I am going to resign and I keep giving the same answer,” snapped the 51-year-old who has overseen a disastrous year for the Wallabies.

“Tough situations arise in all sports and then they go away and the tough people stay,” was his clear message ahead of the Test here.

If Australia fail to win, they will suffer the humiliation of finishing last behind champions New Zealand, South Africa and Argentina.

Cheika was once the toast of the Wallabies supporters, taking the team to second place behind the All Blacks at the 2015 World Cup in England. –
