Michael Cheika has revealed the Wallabies have a secret weapon to trounce the dominant All Blacks finally.
“Mate, we have had an ongoing strategical plan for the All Blacks, we implemented stage one when I waltzed into the oval office, and I have to admit it is a slow burner. That’s the brilliance of it!”
Punters have written off the Wallabies for the third and final Bledisloe test, but why does it appear so black and white?
For many decades the Kiwi side has had an ever expanding statistical domination over the Aussies. Of the last 15 tests between the two nations, the men in gold have claimed victory just once. To make matters worse, they have only won three of the last 28 clashes.
There is also the Eden Park hoodoo, which has prevented a Wallabies win at the stadium since 1986.That’s three decades, or to my Kiwi readers, that’s the life span of three sheep!
When probed about the Wallabies’ strategy for the weekend, Cheika couldn’t help but reveal their big secret.
“We’ve been playing the age old tactic of a ‘false sense of security,’ letting Hanson and his men get the better of us again and again until they let their guards down, then and only then will we pounce. Finally, we feel like that time has come.”
I asked Michael “Grab The Check” Cheika if the technique of purposely losing games to obtain a surprise victory seemed a little drastic. He told me I wasn’t a coach, and that I would never understand. He got me there.
His air of confidence and the fact he called me mate have me convinced the Wallabies are going to win this one. Let’s just hope none of the Kiwi staffers or players read this, lest the surprise tactic would be ruined.
