Michael Cheika to split Lebanon rugby league role with Argentina ahead of England Test

The Telegraph  

“It’s a huge game for Argentina as well, against a team we’ll play in our World Cup pool next year. “Coaching against the Kangaroos would never have entered into my mind so now it’s here I really want to profit from the opportunity.” A hectic schedule is not unfamiliar for Cheika, who has a third job as director of rugby at the Japanese rugby union club Green Rockets, but even by his own standards the build-up to this Pool C decider was far from straightforward. “They say we’re sort of part-timers, I think the other part-time work we’re doing at the moment is security work,” Cheika joked. It’s been a bit of a crazy week.” Born in Sydney to Lebanese immigrant parents in 1967, Cheika will coach in his third straight Rugby World Cup when he leads Argentina next year in France.
