Contempomi replacement not a Dunne deal for Cheika

IT could be the most important decision he makes this season so it was no wonder yesterday that Michael Cheika refused to reveal who would wear Felipe Contepomi’s vacant shirt for the Heineken Cup encounter with Pool Two leaders Agen on Saturday.

It’s a straightforward head to head between Christian Warner and Andy Dunne, Warner being one of two players chosen to accompany the coach to yesterday’s press briefing.

However, Cheika dismissed suggestions the gesture was in any way significant.
