Western Force captain Nathan Sharpe has dismissed claims in a New Zealand newspaper that his coach John Mitchell is facing a player revolt.
An article in New Zealand's Sunday News, quoting an unnamed source, claims Sharpe and fellow Wallaby Matt Giteau were set to quit the Force after an alleged falling out with the former All Blacks coach.
But Sharpe says the article is pure fantasy.
"The first thing I heard about that article was I was considering leaving," he said.
"I just signed a three-year deal over there so I can tell you, I wouldn't sign for three years if I was unhappy in a certain area.
"So [it's] complete rubbish and I don't know where they got those things from but I guess that pretty much sums up where I am with it."
