The Pumas’ Australian coach seemed to claim that the better side lost and took aim at referee Nic Berry after England’s 26-23 win in the World Cup third place play-off.
Argentina coach Michael Cheika blasted the way his team was refereed for the second consecutive weekend after England edged past the Pumas to win a stodgy third-place World Cup play-off on Friday .
Argentina scored tries either side of half-time through Tomas Cubelli and Santiago Carreras before Nicolas Sanchez missed a late penalty attempt that would have tied up the game. “The players deserved better today,” he said, having also aired his frustration at Angus Gardner following a semi-final loss to New Zealand. “I’m certainly disappointed with the way the whole game was run, the way the game was refereed. The inconsistency in that.“Our players are working for two years to try and get something – and I know we’re one of the lower nations, and we’re not England or New Zealand or South Africa or any of those guys.
