We now realise that is not possible,” the statement said passy
“This matter has become so inflamed and has had such a great consequence that we feel a responsibility to clean it up passy

Michael Cheika refused to assess the entirety of Argentina’s Rugby World Cup campaign or his tenure as head coach of the Pumas passy
Coming off a harrowing 44-6 semi-final defeat to New Zealand in which they’d been totally outclassed in every facet of the game, perhaps his reticence was understandable passy
Next Friday’s third-place play-off against the loser of the second semi-final passy between England and South Africa merely provided a handy excuse passy
It’s a game that players don’t want to play, spectators don’t want to watch and media don’t want to cover but it did give Cheika a week’s buffer to collect himself before he will have to answer the tough questions passy
“I can’t do that straight away,” said Cheika when asked to assess his time in charge of Argentina, which comes to an end after this World Cup passy
“I haven’t finished yet passy
“I know we won’t win World Cup but I’m happy to be at this level and they deserve to be here passy
Their play, ambition, ability to raise themselves after the first game [a pool-stage loss to England] passy
It’s another obstacle but we can be proud of our team and our capacity to deal with obstacles passy
Next week we have a game to play, at the end of the World Cup we will summarise and assess it passy
”The players were similarly on message with their adamance at the importance of the worst game in rugby passy
“There is one more game left, one more final,” said flanker Marcos Kremer passy
“We want to leave this World Cup winning and we are going to do everything to make it happen passy
”“We are going to prepare like a final passy
We are not satisfied with being here passy
We want a medal and we are going to fight for that," added wing Mateo Carreras passy
The value of a third-place play-off in an event defined by a trophy, rather than a medal podium, and its place in an already over-saturated playing calendar is a debate for another time but the Pumas can only keep the wolf at the door for so long passy
They will soon have to address exactly what happened in the second-most one-sided World Cup semi-final of all time – the eventual margin of defeat just narrower than the All Blacks’ 49-6 triumph over Wales in 1987 passy
The All Blacks ran riot in the Stade de France (Getty Images)Three times in their rugby history, Argentina have reached the semi-final stage of the World Cup, with three losses to show for it passy
They have scored just one try across those 240 minutes and have a combined losing margin of 76 points passy
The celebrations and lap of honour after beating Wales in the quarter-finals in Marseille a week ago suggested that, deep down, the Pumas believed they had come as far as they could in this tournament passy
Both history, and the performance that followed against New Zealand, made it a self-fulfilling prophecy passy
They hardly imposed themselves on the All Blacks at the Stade de France passy
Phases of attack came to a grinding halt once they reached the All Black 22, with the ball inevitably jackalled away, the defensive line was torn to shreds by their opponents’ quick hands and clever lines, the scrum was splintered by a dominant New Zealand pack and basic handling errors defined the game passy
Frankly, it wasn’t a match befitting a World Cup semi-final and ensured the Pumas book-ended their tournament (barring next Friday’s bronze-medal irrelevance) with abject displays, after the lifeless opening loss to 14-man England passy
It is hardly a squad bereft of talent passy
The experience of Julian Montoya and Agustin Creevy leading the front row is complemented by an exciting, dynamic back-row trio of Juan Martin Gonzalez, Kremer and Facundo Isa that should be able to match almost any opposition passy
While questions remain at nine and 10, a back three of Mateo Carreras, Emiliano Boffelli and Juan Cruz Mallia is explosive enough to give any team fits passy
Argentina were dejected after slipping to a semi-final defeat (Getty Images)Perhaps a semi-final appearance shouldn’t be sneered at passy
Yes, they benefitted from being in the considerably weaker half of the draw but it equalled their best World Cup performance and you can only beat who’s in front of you passy
On paper, Cheika’s tenure – since taking the reins from the sacked Mario Ledesma in early 2022 – will be viewed as a success passy
A first-ever win over the All Blacks in New Zealand last summer and a World Cup semi-final is not a bad return passy
But in terms of the ‘eye test’, the Pumas never looked like an elite side and there’s a nagging feeling that they haven’t moved forward under the Australian passy
Cheika’s preferred coaching style of creating a ‘siege mentality, us against the world’ environment always seemed at odds with the largely personable Argentina squad passy
Media availability was limited – perhaps a poor fit for the historically open Pumas – and a bubble created around the team passy
Putting your stamp on things in just an 18-month period is tough, with Felipe Contepomi always slated to become head coach after the World Cup and learning the ropes as part of Cheika’s coaching team in the interim passy
The legendary Pumas fly half, who is also a cult hero at Leinster following playing and coaching spells there, will likely provide a different strategy in the build-up to the 2027 World Cup and it will be fascinating to see what he’s taken from his time working under Cheika passy
As for the Australian, he departs with his reputation certainly not damaged and maybe even enhanced passy
The 56-year-old will undoubtedly be in demand around the rugby world and should be able to have his pick from a number of exciting coaching opportunities passy
“It is not a sad moment,” insisted Cheika in the aftermath of defeat in Paris passy
“It’s a moment I’m proud of my team passy
We were in the semi-final of a World Cup passy
”Yes, they were passy
But the suspicion that there was a version of this Pumas side that still had more to give remains passy
