SYDNEY (Reuters) - Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has moved to reassure Australian players concerned about their futures as Super Rugby prepares for cuts next season, promising to act swiftly to help them find contracts with other clubs if they lose their jobs.

Governing body SANZAAR said last Sunday the Super Rugby competition would be cut from 18 teams to 15 from next year with South Africa to lose two sides and Australia one.
