Toulon rope in Jake

Toulon rope in Jake

25 Nov 2008

Struggling French club Toulon have acquired the services of Jake White as an adviser.

The World Cup-winning coach will only be with the club from 3-22 December, but president Mourad Boudjellal believes any input can help at this stage. Toulon are currently at 11th in the French domestic competition.

“Even I have my limitations and may still be in certain respects a president of a second division club, who for so long dreamed of gaining promotion,” said Boudjellal. “I want to find out what is not working and that is why I have looked outside the club for an opinion.”

John Connolly was initially brought in to aid Tana Umaga but clashed with the incumbent manager and was quickly removed.

    Reading between the lines, skopskiet obviously had a post removed (#21). On a thread about Jake White – who would’ve guessed? :roll: Whaaaaaat a doos.

    Good luck Jake. You are a true rugby man.

    Isn’t it funny how all the staunch PDV lovers/apologists appear to dislike JW (and Eddie Jones) intensely? I wonder why and how they could possibly feel threatened by Jake White? Seems silly.

    I see that Skoptjokvolfokkolll was at it and banned yet again….. hopefully for good this time and hopefully when he re-surfaces under yet another name, the ban will be immediate.

    Tulsa should be banned permanently as well with his hate speech….. I’ve just reported his post and I trust that a lot of you have done exactly that as well…

    I’m a staunch PDV “lover/apologist” as you call it, and I have no problem with Jake White or Eddie Jones.

    In fact Eddie Jones agrees with me that Conrad Jantjes was in fine form this year :-)

    The Traceroute I ran also does not correspond at all for the 2. I know exactly who and where each can be found…..

    #70 WP Till I Die: P.S. My view is that you shouldn’t put any coach on a pedestal. Be fair and objective however when considering their performances. After 4 years at the helm, JW deserves credit.

    PDV had his highs and lows this year but overall had a relatively successful year.

    We mustn’t make who the coach is a sideshow. It all about the Boks’ results, and nothing else.

    #79 wooden spoon: Yeah, it re-traces the “route” / “path” that the Muppit has taken from his PC, through his ISP, through the Internet, to the eventual site.

    Some interesting stats on what else has been browsed comes up as well….

    Just wanted to take the opportunity to thank Jake for his contributions to SA Rugby, especially the Boks performance in 2008.

    Jake, without your input none of the success would have been possible.

    I wonder if his input will cover off the field matters like the cheerleaders. I’m sure he will make a success of whatever he is asked to do. Knowing him, he will probably use his a lot of his own initiative as well.
