Jake White believes his name is not on the list of candidates to replace Springbok head coach Jacques Nienaber, who will leave the post after the Rugby World Cup in France later this year. | Sport24news
"My name doesn't crop up. I've been reading enough articles to see that my name is not on the list and that's maybe a good thing," said White."I'm signed here until 2027. I coach a lot of players who I think should be international players and who will become internationals.
"As you've seen, unless you get in there and they want you, there is no use being forced in. Secondly, you've got to get what you think is important for you to run the organisation when it comes to rugby. White, though, pointed to the incredible pull Leinster possessed, who not only have a world-class director of rugby in Leo Cullen but former England coach Stuart Lancaster, too, who is leaving later this year to become director of rugby at French club Racing 92.
"It's fantastic that a club like that [can attract those coaches]. It's a club that everyone is trying to emulate. Yes, we have the Crusaders in the southern hemisphere and they are an incredible club in their own right.
