Overview
- Selborne College said Friday that internal issues were amicably resolved and that Jake White will keep consulting on rugby, while the school apologized for the fallout from a leaked email.
- White had stepped away after a private letter surfaced online in which he accused headmaster Andrew Dewar of interfering in rugby decisions, and director of rugby Derek Page also withdrew.
- The school has not provided a clear update on Page’s status, which remains unresolved in its public statements.
- White said he helped the programme for free, expressed regret that the letter became public, and stated he respects that the headmaster runs the school.
- Dewar has argued that academics come first and that Selborne is not a rugby institute, a stance that reflects wider tensions as South African schools pour millions into first-team rugby and bursaries.
