Michael Cheika insists he doesnt feel his jobs under pressure as the Wallabies begin picking up the pieces from a disastrous Bledisloe Cup campaign.Taking stock after losing 29-9 to the All Blacks in Saturdays second Test in Wellington - and having conceded 10 tries while scoring just one in back-to-back clashes with the world champions - Cheikas team badly need to show progress in the rest of the Rugby Championship campaign.Theyll regroup after a week off before tackling South Africa in Brisbane on Saturday week.Another defeat would bring Australias losing streak to seven Tests - the same number that led to the sacking of Eddie Jones in 2005, the teams most unsuccessful run in the professional era.Three of those losses were to New Zealand and three to England, widely rated the best two teams in world rugby.But another bad loss at home against a mediocre Springboks team, who have split their first two Tests with Argentina, would crank up pressure on them.Cheika appears to be feeling the heat, if his post-match spray at referee Romain Poite - who he alleged ignored captain Stephen Moore and also had a secret meeting with the All Blacks, which counterpart Steve Hansen subsequently refuted - is anything to go by.But he doesnt feel his position is in any jeopardy.I dont think I am [under pressure], Cheika told reporters in Sydney.The only person who puts pressure on me is myself.Im not worried about that stuff.The Springboks were disappointing in a 26-24 defeat by the Pumas in Argentina on Saturday night and may present the Wallabies with an opportunity to play themselves back into form.However, there is plenty of work to do.Australia barely had a chance in attack in Wellington, running the ball 187m to New Zealands 411m, and were held tryless as the rampant hosts crossed the white line four times en route to clinching the Bledisloe Cup for a 14th straight year.With no injured players expected back for Brisbane, Cheika has already declared his intention to stick with Quade Cooper and Bernard Foley as the teams twin playmakers, while lock Adam Coleman brought some promising vigour in just his second Test appearance - if overdone at times.Young backline utility Reece Hodge showed some signs in his debut off the bench, including kicking a monster 52m penalty, that suggest he could become a regular for years to come.But apparent glaring problems remain, including lineout woes and a lack of ball-running forwards, especially a power No.8, to provide much-needed go-forward.Vice-captain Michael Hooper believes, despite their two Bledisloe beltings, a win isnt too far away.We made huge improvements during the week, he said.Still the scoreboard didnt paint a great picture but as far as intent of the guys at training and in the game, you cant build that sort of stuff and not get results in the back end of the year.(Im not) hoping, Im knowing theres some good to come from this.

After taking two big hits this week -- losing at home and dropping back-to-back games for the first time all season -- Indiana struck back by playing its most complete game of the year. Theyve got a dream run home, but complacency looms as Geelongs biggest obstacle as the AFL club attempts to re-establish itself as a premiership threat.The Cats became flag favourites following their round-eight win over the Crows at Adelaide Oval, but a string of losses against lowly teams since then have severely hampered their cause and reputation.Geelongs rut started with a 24-point loss to Collingwood in round nine, before suffering a shock 19-point loss to Carlton a week later.Their troubles against minnows continued in round 14 when they lost to St Kilda by three points.The Cats will start as the hottest of favourites against the injury-crippled Dockers at Domain Stadium on Friday night.And with Geelongs run home littered with sides who will miss the finals, the Cats have an excellent chance to lock down a top-two berth - as long as they can avoid slipping up further against minnows.After hosting tough matches against Adelaide and the Bulldogs in the coming weeks, the Cats end their season with games against last-placed Essendon, Richmond (13th), Brisbane (17th), and Melbourne (10th).Their quest to climb back into the top-four starts against the Dockers, and Geelong coach Chris Scott has made some big calls on the selection front following last weeks loss to Sydney.Forward Mitch Clark has been axed after just one game back in the senior side, while Jimmy Bartel has been rested.Darcy Lang was another to be omitted, with Shane Kersten, Rhys Stanley, and Josh Cowan all brought back.Clark went goalless aagainst the Swans last round.dddddddddddd.And the 28-year-old hit the headlines this week when it was revealed he made an on-field sledge about Geelong teammate Mitch Duncans sister when playing VFL footy last month.The Dockers have been bolstered by the return of Michael Barlow (finger), while Tendai Mzungu has been recalled for his first AFL match since round eight.Ed Langdon (hamstring) and Darcy Tucker (omitted) drop out.Fremantle coach Ross Lyon says Geelongs losses against lowly sides has barely rated a mention at the Dockers this week.Weve got our hands full ourselves - really trying to improve our footy, Lyon said.Theyre a pretty good team.
