Rugby: Jake White becomes Fiji’s new head coach

# Rugby: Former Springbok and Bulls coach Jake White had been confirmed as Fiji’s head coach to take the Pacific island team to next year’s World Cup in Australia. The 62-year-old, who lead the Boks to World Cup glory in 2007, also had coaching stints with teams such as the Brumbies, the Sharks and Montpellier. The chairperson of Fiji’s governing body, John Sanday, says White understands what it takes to build a World Cup-winning team and his experience, leadership and championship mentality are exactly what they are looking for.
