Brendan Fanning recaps the Leinster career of coach Michael Cheika as the Australian prepares to leave the province for Paris in The Irish Independent.
"What started for Michael Cheika against the Ospreys in September 2005 will finish against the same opposition in the RDS on Saturday.
Back then he was in charge for his first competitive game for Leinster, a coach with no experience of that level of rugby, compounded by a fuse that was so short that in time he became the talk of the refereeing fraternity.
He leaves next month for Stade Francais with five years of priceless experience in his kitbag. And after another few seasons in Paris, the Aussies will lure him home for one job or another. Before too long we will come across him at a Test venue, where he will be tuned into a Wallaby headset."
