Michael Cheika rules himself out of England running

Michael Cheika dismisses reports linking him with becoming the new head coach of England, insisting that he is happy in his role with Australia.

Michael Cheika has ruled out the notion that he will replace Stuart Lancaster as the new head coach of England.

Recent speculation had claimed that the current Australia boss was on a shortlist of contenders to fill the position, which has been vacant since last week when Lancaster departed by mutual consent.

However, when asked about those reports, the 48-year-old insisted that he already has his "dream" job.

"No-one has contacted me and they know they can't contact me because I'm committed to Australia," he told reporters.

"I'm an Australian coaching Australia. It's the dream. There is nothing that would change my mind."

Cheika took charge of the Wallabies in October 2014.
