CONFIRMED: Jake White is on the Bulls' radar
NEWS: World Cup-winning former Springbok coach Jake White has an important meeting in Pretoria on Monday.
Alfons Meyer, the Chief Executive Officer of the Blue Bulls Company, confirmed that White is on the Bulls’ radar to replace the now-departed Alan Zondagh as Director of Rugby.
Zondagh, at the end of January, returned to the Western Cape for personal reasons – to enjoy more quality time with the family.
“We have several options [people] we are talking to,” Meyer told @rugby365com, when asked about Monday’s get-together with White.
However, the BBC may also decide not to fill the vacancy, created by Zondagh’s departure.
“That is also an option.”
The revelation that the 2007 World Cup-winning coach, White, could make Loftus Versfeld his home, comes just a day after the Bulls won their first match of the season – beating the Highlanders 38-13 in Pretoria at the weekend.
White, who also won an Under-21 World Cup with the Baby Boks in 2002, ended a three-year stint with Verblitz in the Japan Top League.
After his success with South Africa from 2004 to 2007 – which included a Tri-Nations championship to go with the World Cup – he also coached the Brumbies, Sharks and Montpellier.
