Felipe Contepomi says that there has been no recent contact between him, Michael Cheika and the Argentina rugby union regarding the prospect of him joining the Australian’s coaching staff with the Pumas.

Cheika was confirmed last month as the man to take over the South American side through to the next World Cup after Mario Ledesma stepped away from the role. La Nacion newspaper reported at that time that Contepomi would be among his lieutenants.
