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.

“Cortez Ratima is light years ahead of anyone on current form, while TJ Perenara has also skyrocketed into contention following the unfortunate injury to the talented Cam Roigard.” At last some sanity. Hitherto so many pundits have been wittering on about Finlay Christie to the point one wondered if they were observing a FC in a parallel universe where the FC they saw wasnt just the mediocre Shayne Philpott project of Fosters hapless AB reign in the real world. Ratima, Perenara and Fakatava are the ONLY logical 9s for Razor now Roigard is crocked.
