Old faces, new ideas: Cheika’s plan to revive the Waratahs

Incoming Waratahs coach Michael Cheika is promising a bold new approach in his second stint in charge of NSW, adamant he will not be using the platform to audition for another crack at the Wallabies job. Flanked by assistant coaches Wycliff Palu and Stephen Hoiles at Allianz Stadium on Wednesday, Cheika also revealed a direct pitch from Rugby Australia boss Phil Waugh convinced him to take on the job he walked away from in 2015.
