Alan Jones...."He went to England to coach Leinster" and "who were an awful team".

He is a muppet (Jones), but in fairness it's widely accepted that when Cheika took the Leinster job we were an absolute shambles and he built the club from the ground up. Not surprising that he's a successful business man as he was behind turning Leinster into a successful business and eventually a winning team, culminating in the Heineken Cup. Sure, we sacraficed our natural playing style a bit, but he made us a well drilled, hard as nails team and a much smarter team. Best of luck to him, he deserved better in France.

Bear in mind that Alan Jones is a cretin of the highest order. He is Australia's answer to Rush Limbaugh and shock jock radio. He recently said the Australian PM's father had died of shame because of her "lying". :?

It's a shame to have Jones associated with rugby.

New South Wales Waratahs coach Michael Cheika has been given a suspended six-month ban by Super Rugby’s governing body after he admitted abusing a cameraman in South Africa during a Super Rugby match in late March.

Cheika was charged with misconduct for using crude, insulting or abusive language, a breach of Sanzar’s code of conduct, during his team’s defeat to the Sharks in Durban.

Judicial officer Nigel Hampton found that Cheika had abused the cameraman at least twice shortly after halftime, with accompanied finger pointing, and swore at him on at least one further occasion.

He also found Cheika’s evidence “unconvincing”, that false accusations and fabricated witness evidence were made on his behalf, but that while the abuse was unprovoked and disturbing, it was not threatening.

“This matter bears a number of striking similarities with past instances, particularly the use of foul and abusive language towards those charged with running a match and the propensity of Mr Cheika to behave in this manner is disturbing,” Hampton said.

“Given his previous record and the factual findings of the investigation, I regard this as a serious offence and do not see it as a result of any provocation, nor is there any excuse for it.”

Cheika admitted using “stern” language on at least one occasion.

The ban is suspended until August 31st, 2015, with Cheika ordered to pay costs and apologise to the cameraman.

Cheika was given a warning by Sanzar during the 2013 season and was handed a large fine for abusing match officials during and after Stade Francais’ loss to Harlequins in the final of the 2011 Amlin Cup, Europe’s second-tier rugby competition.

Two weeks before the Sharks match Cheika, who was given 48-hours to appeal the decision, broke a glass door at Canberra Stadium
He didn't pick up any of that kind of behaviour here.

He's lost the plot a bit I sense. I don't like to speculate about anything outside of rugby, but really I think he needs to get his anger issues under control. I witnessed it first hand in 2011 after Quins beat Stade Francais with a last minute try in the Amlin final, I was sitting right above the tunnel and there was quite a scene which wasn't picked up on at the time. I think he left Leinster after quite a dressing down after the Magners League final loss to Ospreys also.
