Gaffney cagey on Aussie job

MUNSTER coach Alan Gaffney has had talks with Australia about becoming the No 2 to Eddie Jones in the summer, reports claim.

Gaffney, whose Munster contract expires at the end of May, met Jones and Wallabies manager Phil Thompson in Dublin earlier this month, yesterday’s Sunday Times claimed.

The paper believes Gaffney is on a shortlist with former Wallaby Rod Kafer, who left Saracens in December and is now living in Sydney. The position of specialist backs coach has been vacant since Gary Ella moved on after the 2003 World Cup.
