    Jake denies Oz link

    Jake White dismissed reports of him taking a coaching role at the Waratahs or Western Force next season.
    The Sydney Morning Herald linked the former Springbok head coach with a director of coaching role at the Tahs. The newspaper claimed White was approached by several officials from the Sydney-based team.
    Reports in the Australian press also speculated that White would succeed John Mitchell as the head coach of the Force. This after Mitchell announced his resignation following the 2010 season earlier this year.
    However, White said he had no interest in joining the two Australian Super Rugby franchises.
    ‘I’m currently busy with my Winning Ways [coaching] course and I do some consulting in Japan with Eddie Jone’s club Suntory. That’s all on my books at the moment,’ White told keo.co.za.
    White has in the past expressed interest in a director of rugby position with SA Rugby, but that is unlikely to be a role he will fill in the near future as his relationship with his former employers was severely strained prior to his announcement that he would not reapply for the position of Springbok coach following the expiration of his contract in 2007.
    White acted as a consultant to the Lions in mid 2009, and the union improved under his guidance in the Currie Cup. However, the Lions chose not to extend that consultancy period.
    It is also unlikely that he would accept a head coaching role with a South African franchise. A position with an elite Test side would, however, tempt him.

    No they reported he was APPROACHED, not that he'd accepted.

    Expect Growden to come up with a story saying the decision not to accept a director of coaching position with the Tahs was the most difficult he'd had to make.

    Not that I'd put much faith in a journalist lazy or ignorant enough to come up with "This after Mitchell announced his resignation following the 2010 season earlier this year."
