Former Wallabies boss Michael Cheika has responded to reports suggesting he could be in the running for the vacant job at English Premiership side Gloucester.
“I haven’t had anything to do with them,” Cheika, who has previously coached with Leinster, Stade Francais, and the NSW Waratahs, told rugby.com.au late Sunday.
“They’ve always been a good team, I only know of them as an opponent,” he said, adding “It’s nothing I’m involved with at the moment.”

Talking about his future, Cheika revealed he had spoken to clubs in Europe over a possible move.
“For me, the important thing for next is making sure it’s the right people that I get to work with, right club and that it’s the right time for someone like me,” he said.
“Coaches don’t always fit, you want to be the right person and for it be a team that will use the skill sets short to medium term.”
