Though he gave his former Argentinian assistant coach Mario Ledesma permission to sing his national anthem while with the Wallabies,Cheika decided after much thought he would stay silent over the last couple of weekends out of respect.
But if there were mixed emotions about beating the Wallabies initially,they didn’t last. Cheika says the way he was recruited and has been welcomed in Argentinian rugby has confirmed his affection for the country and the Pumas players.
