Wallabies coach Cheika faces investigation
By Iain Strachan
Michael Cheika will be investigated over alleged comments made by the Australia coach during a 30-6 loss to England at Twickenham.
Cheika was seen on television footage appearing to direct obscenities at referee Ben O'Keeffe in what was a controversial victory for Eddie Jones' hosts at the expense of the Wallabies, who had two tries disallowed.
Cheika also appeared to get into an argument with a fan on his way down from the coaching box to the sideline.
Australia's coach ended a post-match interview on Saturday when he was asked about his remarks.
And Jon Davis, the disciplinary officer for the November internationals, is now set to assess the incidents in question.
"Following various media reports and a referral from World Rugby, the comments and conduct attributed to Michael Cheika are being investigated. An update will be issued tomorrow (Tuesday)," a widely reported statement from the organisers of the series said.

Ok, BB did NOT deserve a 9.5. I found his performance to be extremely lacklustre, especially considering the platform the forwards were giving him. His kicking was exceptional as usual, but his running rugby has been poor compared to DMac. Would've preferred to see a bit of DMac against Italy here.
Will Jordan only a 7??? He had a wonderful performance.
