Michael Cheika is loath to talk about dynasties and sustained dominance, but the New South Wales Waratahs coach is already plotting a path to back-to-back Super Rugby titles.

Cheika laughed off speculation that he could be heading off to coach Argentina at the 2015 Rugby World Cup national team after guiding the Waratahs to their Holy Grail. He still has one year on his three-season contract with the Waratahs, and said when asked if he would be going to Argentina after the last-gasp 33-32 win over the Crusaders in the Super Rugby grand final: "What, for a holiday? No, I'm here. We're well into our planning for next season."

Cheika has been a hot commodity since improving the Waratahs' fortunes, and his stocks will rise higher given he is now the only coach to win both the Heineken Cup, in the Northern Hemisphere, and Super Rugby.

Greg Growden has reported in Ruck'n Maul that French Top 14 powerhouse Toulon are prepared to offer Chieka "a lucrative base salary in the range of $US750,000 per year", and also that Argentina are keen to sign him with the coach said to be "struggling big time" with several members of the NSW board.

"Someone looking mysteriously like former Argentina Test captain Felipe Contepomi was sighted in Sydney last week in deep discussion with Cheika, and the push from the Pumas for Cheika to take over as their director of rugby gets stronger and stronger," Growden reported in Ruck'n Maul on Friday.

"Contepomi and Cheika know each other from their Leinster days."

Cheika, though, said he remained very much committed to the Waratahs.

"As opposed to speaking about how good everyone is, I would like to speak about how much I've enjoyed coaching them with our management guys, with our trainers," he said.

"I've really enjoyed being involved with them because they're very passionate about winning and playing a certain style of game. They're using their skill and their craft with that little bit of extra passion attached and they're trying to give themselves a better product so the team can be better in the end.

"I really enjoy working with people like that because they give you extra energy."

Cheika said he had to give his winners ample time to recuperate mentally as much as physically from their triumphant campaign before charging head first into another demanding pre-season. He said his big task now was to "get the guys interested in a new challenge and sell them a bit of that story".

"I've got a bit of time about how we're going to do that and just be very true to the core values," Cheika said. "We don't want to change them every year. We want them to be the same and we just want to be really good at what our things are. Then if we can be good at those, have the ability to maybe turn the volume up when we need to into next season.

"It will take a bit of planning and I'm not going to say it's going to be easy. It'll definitely be harder: how we manage with expectation."

Selling the next challenge to the Waratahs should be a snack, given the way Cheika lured Crusaders great Daryl Gibson to Sydney to be his assistant coach last year.

"When Michael came and saw me in Christchurch, he sold me on his vision and I hadn't known him at that stage," Gibson said. "I left that meeting thinking he's a good guy and I could really coach for him and I really liked what he was about. Obviously I looked at the NSW roster. It was a very good one and one you could say you could do something with. It was pretty compelling."

And when the final was on the line on Saturday night, Crusaders legend and now NSW kicking coach Andrew Mehrtens was in the stands with his stomach churning, not knowing what to hope for as Waratahs five-eighth Bernard Foley lined up the match-winning penalty goal.

"I love the irony of the situation," Cheika said.

And you can bet he planned for it, too.
