SYDNEY (Reuters) - The decision to dump the Western Force from Super Rugby was a massive disappointment for the team's "huge" supporter base, Wallabies coach Michael Cheika said on Sunday.

The Perth-based Force are mulling further legal action against the Australian Rugby Union (ARU) after the governing body rescinded their Super Rugby licence on Friday.
