Michael Cheika accused prop Dan Cole of scrummaging illegally since his career started as the war of words between the Australia coach and his England counterpart Eddie Jones intensified.England host Australia at Twickenham on Saturday in a Test underscored by an increasingly tetchy spat between friends and former Randwick teammates Jones and Cheika.Former Australia boss Jones aired his concerns with the Wallabies scrum tactics straight after his England sides 27-14 win over Argentina on Saturday -- and now Cheika has hit back.He wants to talk about our scrum because were cheating in the scrum -- an important thing to note is hes got to look at his own players, said Cheika of Jones comments on Australias set-piece.Targeting Cole, who was sin-binned in Englands win over Argentina on Saturday, Cheika continued: They are the ones who have a prop with a yellow card.That same props been infringing the law since his career started probably, if not all of this year.England boss Jones declared straight after the Argentina victory that he would seek a meeting with Jaco Peyper, the man to referee the Australia clash, to discuss what he considers the Wallabies illegal scrum tactics.Cheika initially shrugged off the early pre-match salvo when quizzed on Jones comments following Australias 27-24 loss to Ireland in Dublin on Saturday night.But, having settled into this weeks preparations in London, Cheika steeled himself for the verbal jousting - and did not hold back.While Cole was sin-binned against the Pumas, back in Englands summer Test series against the Wallabies the 68-cap tighthead was singled out for criticism by the Australian media.England won the series 3-0 but boss Jones hit out at an orchestrated campaign against his side from the home media, feeling Cole bore the brunt. Former Australia coach Bob Dwyer produced a detailed critique of what was branded Coles illegal scrum technique.Now Cheika has picked up the theme, accusing Cole of boring in, illegally breaking his bind to scrum at an angle and gain an unfair set-piece advantage.The Australia boss, however, insists he hopes referee Peyper will be able to see through what he considers Jones pre-match smokescreen.If he thinks the refs are that naive that if he has a go at our scrum theyll forget about his guy, thats up to the ref, said Cheika.Its not up to me. Nothing I can say will make a difference about that.Its up to the referee whether he gets influenced by that.The guy (Cole) has been boring in and falling down all of June, thats his tactic.If he thinks that me saying something back on that is going to change the referees mind, thats totally up to the ref. I dont think the ref should be influenced by that anyway.England boss Jones invited Cheika to attend his planned meeting with referee Peyper ahead of Saturdays Twickenham showdown.Cheika said he would take up that opportunity, just as he had ahead of the summers second Test in Australia in June.Former Leinster boss Cheika also claimed England coach Jones had stormed out of one of the pre-match referees briefings during the summers three-Test series down under.How can I refuse an invitation like that? said Cheika, when told Jones had offered to invite the Australia coach to his pre-match meeting with referee Peyper.Hes running on our media, hes organising the meetings for the ref and for the Australian team.It is funny how your tune changes. In the summer when we asked for those meetings, he was blowing up and he stormed out of one.England scrum coach Neil Hatley launched a staunch defence of Coles set-piece technique in response to Cheikas barbs.Asked if Cole adopts an illegal technique, Hatley replied: No, absolutely not. It seems to be a common theme from (an) Australian watcher.Coleys one of the most respected tightheads in the world. He has been outstanding so far.When people have a go at him he just keeps his head down and maintains his form. I think hes a quality scrummager. Cheap Arizona Coyotes Jerseys China .

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Rex Ryan said Thursday that there is heightened concern over Sammy Watkins availability for Sundays game against the Arizona Cardinals after the Buffalo Bills top receiver remained out of practice.I think theres a little more concern because of the fact that its another day he didnt practice, Ryan said. Well see how it goes, but I certainly hope he [plays].Watkins started and played 40 snaps in the Bills loss last Thursday to the New York Jets, despite being listed as questionable on the injury report. The third-year receiver has dealt with foot soreness in recent weeks following offseason surgery to repair a broken bone in his left foot.Ryan has stated he wants to see Watkins targeted more often under new offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn, although Lynn noted Thursday that Watkins health remains a hurdle.Thats been a focus, Lynn said. But its also a focus with Sammy to get on the practice field. Hes injured, so we have to be cautious with his injury.dddddddddddd. Rest him and just get him to the game.I think the best way to get better and develop skills is to practice. And when he doesnt practice, that is a concern. But hes an elite guy, so we feel like he can go out on Sundays with limited reps and get it done.Watkins has been targeted 10 times, tied for the team lead, through the first two games, according to ESPN Stats & Information. He has caught six passes for 63 yards.The Bills health at receiver took another hit in Thursdays practice when backup Greg Salas suffered a groin injury, which Ryan did not think was major.If neither Watkins nor Salas can play in Sundays game, the Bills would be down to Robert Woods, Marquise Goodwin, Brandon Tate and Walter Powell at receiver.You talk about ground and pound, Ryan said. We [would be] back to ground and pound. ' ' '
