Let’s give him the benefit of the doubt and see what he can do with the Brumbies

He had the same credibility problem Snor had, never having won a CC or Super trophy

We’ll now he has to nut up or shut up

If it weren’t the case that RFU wanted Mallet the snake would chuck up Brumbies faster than you can say tie me kangaroo down…

He buggered up Chilliboy by playing him when he was too young and HM begged him not to

or perhaps he’s figured out his is just an interview candidate quota position the rfu had to fill…who knows.

I must say I would be very interested to hear ‘skoppie’ views on this matter?

Is this merely (we have to say another) publicity stunt by White?

I agree. Feeling is mutual; good-bye for 5 years and beyond

Jake rules out England job

Canberra – Rugby World Cup-winning coach Jake White says he won’t be applying to fill the England head coaching vacancy and plans to remain with Super Rugby’s Brumbies.

White, who led South Africa to the 2007 Rugby World Cup title, said he was disappointed by criticism in the media that he was prepared to leave Canberra in the first year of a four-year contract.

“It’s something I’d look at – it doesn’t mean now, it doesn’t mean leaving my job,” White said.

Asked directly if he was still interested in taking the job being filled on an interim basis by Stuart Lancaster, the South African responded: “No, no, no, no.”

“I’m here for four years with the Brumbies. I’ve signed on the bottom line and you’ve got to judge people by their actions. Nothing’s changed, I’m still committed to the Brumbies.”

Former South Africa and Italy coach Nick Mallett and former Ireland and US coach Eddie O’Sullivan are considered to be the favorites for the England job, along with Lancaster.

The English Rugby Football Union’s wish for someone with topflight experience could count against Lancaster, who has been in charge for the first three Six Nations Tests. England has a 2-1 record.

Martin Johnson, who was captain when England won the World Cup in 2003, quit as coach in November, six weeks before his contract was due to expire.

It followed England’s disappointing World Cup in New Zealand – along with some off-field indiscretions -where the team was eliminated by France in the quarterfinals, its worst performance in the tournament since 1999. my job.”

At the same time another former Springbok mentor, Nick Mallett, has emerged as the leading candidate – with dispatches from England suggesting that he had a ‘secret’ meeting with the Rugby Football Union to discuss an offer to become the national team’s head coach.

White, who guided South Africa to the Webb Ellis trophy in 2007, revealed on the social network, Twitter, that he will remain with the Brumbies.

“Always hard turning down a chance to win a world cup, but rugby is about making the right decisions and that’s to stay with@BrumbiesRugby,” White said.

“Want to tweet thanks for all the interest and support. The players are happy and we are now focused on the Cheetahs. Cheers@BrumbiesRugby,” he added.”

I understand how you feel.

You know me better than that. So let’s say I wanted to ask any random question to ‘be perceived as …’

But why that one, I think therein lies the ‘mystery’ that you referred to

i hope he’s just being offered an interview in order to fulfill an rfu requirement that they interview a certain number of candidates before deciding but are in fact going to go with mallet or someone else anyway.
and if that happens that the brumbies players turn on him and his season goesto shirt.

this whole thing just make me respect gert smal a whole lot more.
