After just four Currie Cup matches, the Blue Bulls have demoted Edgar Marutlulle back to the junior structures.
Marutlulle, a former Bulls and Lions hooker, drops back to the Blue Bulls junior structures at Under-19 and Under-20, where he was operating before he was elevated to Currie Cup head coach - the first black head coach in the union's history - at the start of the year.
A week later, White took charge of the training sessions ahead of their grudge game against Western Province, a game they lost 41-33 to John Dobson’s side. At the time, White said it would not be fair for Marutlulle to bear the brunt of the pressure of the adverse WP result.
