The Rugby Football Union has denied making contact with Nick Mallett over the role of England head coach.
Mallett, speaking to the South Africa media, claims to have received a call from the RFU earlier this week after England's World Cup demise plunged the future of Stuart Lancaster into doubt.
"There is a clear process at the conclusion of England's tournament, which starts with the review. No pre-judgements have been made nor anyone contacted," an RFU spokesperson said.
