Cheika rules out replacing Lancaster as England coach
Australia boss Michael Cheika has ruled himself out of the vacant England head coach position.
England failed to progress beyond the group stages of the World Cup on home soil and coach Stuart Lancaster left the post by mutual consent last week.
Cheika led the Wallabies to the World Cup final at Twickenham where they lost 34-17 to New Zealand on 31 October.
"I'm an Australian coaching Australia. It's the dream. There is nothing that would change my mind," Cheika said.
Speaking to Chris Jones for BBC Radio 5 live, he added: "No-one has contacted me, and they know they can't contact me because I'm committed to Australia."
