Michael Cheika has questioned whether he is welcome in English club rugby after being banned for two matches for disrespecting the independent match day doctor following his first game as Leicester coach.
Leicester Tigers coach Michael Cheika said he feels as if he is not welcome in English club rugby union after serving a suspension for disrespecting the independent match day doctor.
A Rugby Football Union disciplinary panel determined last Tuesday that the former Australia and Argentina coach had been "overly aggressive with intense eye contact" when confronting the doctor after the Premiership clash. Cheika, who was unhappy with the confusion over removing players from the contest who had suffered head knocks, served the first match of his ban on Sunday with the second suspended until the end of the season."I felt the decision wasn't right and it hurts my reputation.
The RFU disciplinary panel accepted a "lack of clarity about the decisions made about the head injuries" during the match at Exeter's Sandy Park on September 21.
