    Force dismiss White link as ‘nonsense’

    The Western Force today dismissed as “nonsense” a report claiming they have been in contact with World Cup-winning coach Jake White to replace John Mitchell at the end of the season.

    The Australian based the story on information from an “informed source” that White had already been in contact with the Force.

    Force chief executive Greg Harris yesterday denied having either sought or made any contact with former Springbok coach White or his agent Craig Livingstone.

    “I’ve never spoken to him or his agent, hand on heart,” said Harris.

    “John (Mitchell) is contracted for the next three years. We’ve just been through a very thorough review and the rugby department is working very efficiently now.

    And running across the top of The Australian's sport section today, apparently it wasn't the Force approaching White, it was some dude from Emirates.

    So at some corporate function, someone who happens to work for the teams sponsor, gets pissed, spies Jake White and starts ruminating on all things rugby, including the goings on at the Force. Give it a few months and put it in the hands of an Australian journalist and suddenly the EWF were sounding out White to replace Mitch. Spare me!

    sounds like the story they ran on media watch on monday in regards to Channel 9
    when they were exposed as fabricating a story on the young australian of the year and her supposed "affair" with a married man... looks like the media are getting more & more hishonest and that is concerning as the general public rely on these organisations to supply News. this situation is no different...

    shame on you "the australian".. youve crossed the line...

    Yeah, I saw the start of that one- pictures of the poor girl 'binge drinking'- when in fact, she was participating in one of those ACA-type experiments where people drink x amount and they measure the effect on BAC at different times- they even got the footage from a locally-based channel 9 program!

    Any wonder the media get a bad name
