Jake White Renews Push for Test Return After Missing Out on Benetton Job

The World Cup-winning former Springbok coach says his experience should count at international level.

Overview

  • White, 62, has been without a full-time role since leaving the Vodacom Bulls in July 2025.
  • He told Rugby365 he has “unfinished business” in Test rugby and wants back on the international stage.
  • He questioned the rise of younger hires, arguing that hard-won experience at the top improves coaches.
  • Reports last month linked him to Benetton’s head-coach vacancy, which instead went to former Wales boss Wayne Pivac.
  • He is set to serve as a rugby consultant at Selborne College in 2026 while pursuing senior roles.
