The Herald has been told that Waratahs officials have informed several coaching candidates they have missed out. But there remains strong interest in Cheika, who was recently involved with Stade Francais. An announcement is expected within the next week.

Deja Vu all over again.

It appears he'd travel from Paris to Ulan-Bataar for a job.

Cheika was contracted in France and there were always going to be problems, financial and contractual about him coming to us. Maybe the Tahs have more sway because let's face it he doesn't need the dollars
