Sibling rivals from the same rugby nursery, the Australia and England coaches have much to prove in the Rugby World Cup quarter-final

If you cut Cheika and Jones, their blood would run myrtle green, both products of that famous Sydney club by the beach, Randwick. The coaches’ enduring connection to Randwick was evident in their emotional responses to the passing of club legend and mentor Jeff Sayle last week, bringing tears to the eyes of two of hardest men in rugby.
