Craig HillA Wallaby Coach is Green & Gold but NOT White.

Ohhhhh no...say it ain't so?
Could Jake White be the next Wallaby Coach?
According to latest news reports, current (for now) Springboks Coach, Jake White could be a contender for the job.
Contenders;
David Nucifora (Auckland Blues & ex Brumbies Coach),
Laurie Fisher (Brumbies Coach),
Ewan Mackenzie (Waratahs Coach),
Scott Johnson (current Wallabies Backs coach) and...Robbie Dean...but now that Graham Henry's future looks All Bleak (he he), maybe not.
It has been made clear that White won't be coaching the Boks next year, regardless of how well the Boks do at RWC, because South Africa Rugby is about to undergo a radical transformation and actually represent its citizens by...'installing' a Black/"coloured" Coach to the position.
My apologies for how very un PC this is but...White gets replaced by Black.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahaha! I'm done.
Anywayyy...what heightened the speculation is the fact that the South African Rugby Union advertised the position of Springbok Head Coach recently and "invited" White to apply for the position.
...and when you get "invited" to apply for the position you're already in...well...
White could be scouring the globe for employment and he'll find this tough because the Boks haven't performed very well under his rule.
I mean, they'll only won the Tri nations once, they've managed to not get beaten by The Wallabies whilst playing at home and they've also upset the All Blacks a few times. Plus, supposedly, Jake White is quite a likeable guy.
Why would you takethis man anything I say seriously?
Seriously now...there are quite a few Coach vacancies going around (Wales and maybe NZ too) so why wouldn't White ride this bus? (geddit? geddit?? No?...sheesh)
...and although this has all been discarded as "speculation", it seems White would be very interested to swap from mammal to marsupial Green and Gold.
In an interview with The Australian newspaper, White said;
And if approached by the Australian Rugby Union?
White's comments came on the same day that ARU CEO and all round idiot John O'Neill made a push for ex Brumbies Coach, David Nucifora.
It is apparent that the ARU would like to employ an Australian because after all, the 'A' doesn't stand for Anyone but...really, the list of contenders so far, looks a little weak. The ARU is just not thinking far enough locally and wisely but that's not new.
...going in to RWC with only one world class flyhalf, what do they do?
Pick a rookie with a league background, no test match time and who by their own account, hadn't performed well throughout the lead up.
...because thinking ahead and scouting around Rugby circles -Club Rugby- for flyhalves with potential and then picking at least 6 and training them for that position and that position only, would go against their ARUseless policy.
Don't start me on Matt Dunning as first choice prop.
So the ARU is already thinking...well Jake White looks good in Green and Gold. And he's already savvy with the Wallaby Way after he chose Eddie Jones as hisdeep throat 'consultant'...why not?
I say....White. Not for The Wallabies.
Provincial teams, regional teams, club teams...fine, no problem.
These competitions pit countryman against countryman but to hire a 'foreigner' to train a national team...sorry people, that just smacks of inter-olerance.
...which leads you to my next post;
Who should be the next Wallabies Coach?
Yes it's a poll. Another one.

The Green & Gold is right...but please, not White!

I'll be honest, I want to stay in international rugby,
...Once you've coached in international rugby, you want to stay in it. It's in your blood. The message from my side is quite clear to any job that's available or could be available.
It would be very silly of me to start worrying about any future jobs now while the campaign is not finished but afterwards I would really love to be involved in international rugby.

Any international job would be something that excites me.
