  • Michael Cheika and Pablo Lemoine reflect on Australia's 65-3 win over Uruguay in Rugby World Cup Pool A on Sunday (27th September).

    Lemoine insists that he is proud of his players and their performance, despite their disappointment at being unable to score a try, while Cheika seeks improvement ahead of Australia's clash with England.

    Script: SOUNDBITE: (English) Pablo Lemoine, Uruguay coach

    "It's difficult, you know, for the guys to play 80 minutes at the same level but I'm really happy with the performance. I know it's sometimes difficult to understand because after (conceding) 50 points to understand the coach saying that it's a good performance but for me, I still say the same. I feel proud of the guys."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Michael Cheika, Australia coach"I thought it was a pretty rugged game to be honest. I thought that the Uruguayan's, like the Argentineans as well, the South America teams, they play the game physically and they've got no shortage of desire and they came hard at us and I think we wanted to play the game in a physical manner as well so I enjoyed that part of the game. But I think we've still got a lot of improvement to do. I think we probably left too many opportunities behind and we've got an improvement to make. We have been trying to improve every single day to get to the standard that we want to be at and tomorrow we'll start trying to improve again to get to the standard that we want to get to."
