Cheika on Folau
Wallabies head coach Michael Cheika made his thinking about the importance of Israel Folau pretty clear when speaking to the media about his full-back’s form.
Folau is yet to score a try at the Rugby World Cup but could break that duck in Saturday’s final.
"I never doubt that bloke – never," said Cheika of Folau.
"Has he been in top form? I think before he got his injury, he was in good form, he was carrying the ball really well.
"The injury bothered him a bit, he missed a game and then played [Argentina] with that injury but on the improve.
"He felt good enough to be able to do his job and I think he's only going to get better after that.”
