There is a story in the NZ Herald this morning ( http://www.nzherald.co.nz/rugby/news/article.cfm?c_id=80&objectid=11429676 ) that Waratahs and Wallabies coach Cheika entered the referees room at half time during the Tahs/ Blues game the weekend before last.
For those that don't know, Cheika has a history with behaviour issues toward match officials and crew and in on a six month suspended sentence for abusing a cameraman last year. The period of suspension has not expired and if this latest allegation is true he could have the 6 months invoked meaning he would effectively be unable to coach the Wallabies in the TRC and the RWC.
As the article says, Sanzar have kept this potential drama under wraps and are not commenting.
