Photo ReutersMichael Cheika finishes 2016 with a Wallabies' winning percentage almost as bad as the one that got Eddie Jones sacked 11 years ago but he insists the pain can be salved by future gain. Jones' England team completed a 14th straight win when they overran the Wallabies in the second half to record a 37-21 - four tries to two - victory at Twickenham at the weekend. It's the Wallabies' worst since Jones' 2005 team chalked up an ignominious 38.5 percent win rate which cost him his job. "We've made decisions around this season as opposed to starting next season when the calendar isn't perhaps as packed," said Cheika. But I still think we've gained a lot on what we've done this year around the new players."
