Connacht head coach Pete Wilkins has confirmed that he has not yet been interviewed to take over from Andy Friend as director of rugby nor has he been given a timeline when the provincial hierarchy intend on having the position filled.

Wilkins has declared an interest in taking over the top job at the Sportsground but given the very fickle nature of the career he needs to keep his options open as well and see what’s out there as his contract runs out in the summer.
