Wallabies head coach Michael Cheika will have to wait a little longer to learn his fate after the Sydney Morning Herald revealed that Rugby Australia board would be given more time to evaluate where they stand.
The board is set to meet in Sydney next Monday where Cheika and the high‑performance unit will make their case.
The board will then deliberate for up to two days before deciding if changes need to be made.
The meeting will break up Cheika’s tour of Australia’s four Super Rugby teams who he will be pitching his vision for the upcoming Rugby World Cup to.
Cheika has reportedly been told his job is safe, though conflicting reports emerged that the Wallabies were already looking at other options.
Former Springboks head coach Jake White – who led the Springboks to World Cup glory in 2007 – had reportedly reached out to Rugby Australia to offer his services.
Once word of White’s potential involvement reached the media, Rugby Australia backtracked on a scheduled phone call with the coach.
Cheika has been Wallabies coach since 2014.
