Michael Cheika CHARMS The Lads As They Discuss His EXTRAORDINARY Career

Payno and Hask kick off Season 5 with a banger as they dive into the extraordinary career of Michael Cheika, heading up to Leicester to meet the Premiership’s biggest off-season signing.

Cheika’s coaching journey spans the globe, with stints in Italy, France, Ireland, Australia, Japan, Argentina, and even Lebanon’s national rugby league team. In this episode, they explore his diverse coaching experience, including his time as Hask’s boss at Stade Français. Raised by a father who emigrated to Australia with nothing, Cheika reflects on how this bold, risk-taking approach has shaped both his life and his coaching philosophy.
