The BBC has reported that Cardiff Blues have held talks with Leicester assistant Geordan Murphy over the vacant head coach’s job at Cardiff Arms Park.
Ex-Ireland international Murphy is one of several potential candidates to replace Danny Wilson in May 2018.
Murphy, who played 72 times for his country, has been Tigers assistant since retiring from playing in 2013.
The 39-year-old spent his entire career at Tigers, making his debut in 1998 before going on to make 205 appearances and scoring 57 tries.
