Larkham, head coach of the Canberra-based ACT Brumbies, and Grey, defence coach under Cheika at the New South Wales Waratahs, will be allowed to continue in their Super Rugby roles throughout the 2015 season in the leadup to the World Cup in England.
Cheika named a third assistant in fitness trainer Dean Benton, who helped the ACT Brumbies' strength and conditioning from 2011-2013.
Cheika is still chasing a new forwards coach after the departure of Andrew Blades.
