MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Australia coach Michael Cheika contacted a disgruntled Wallabies fan whose social media critique of the team's performance in the loss to Scotland on Saturday struck a chord with disappointed supporters.

Jack Quigley, a self-described "player, coach and referee" branded the Wallabies a "disgrace", and accused them of lacking passion and being out of touch with the common fan in an 800-word Facebook rant after their 24-19 defeat in Sydney.
