OITA, Japan (Reuters) - Michael Cheika said he would prefer to lose the Australian way, with ball in hand, than win by playing a more conservative game after the Wallabies crashed out of the World Cup quarter-finals against England on Saturday.

The Australia coach said it was too early to decide on his future, lambasting reporters for their insensitivity in asking the question, and was equally defiant when asked if he had been tactically outwitted by England coach Eddie Jones.
