Brumbies shocker

ACT Brumbies coach Jake White tendered his shock resignation to remain in South Africa after being overlooked for Australian national coach, the club said yesterday. White steered the Brumbies to a Super 15 final in 2013 to cap an ascendant two seasons for the Australian franchise, but the club said he requested a release from the remaining two years of his contract after Queensland Reds coach Ewen McKenzie pipped him for top post at the Wallabies. “To have Jake decide that he wants to pursue his international coaching ambitions from South Africa at this late stage is disappointing. He has achieved a great deal for the Brumbies and we felt he certainly had more to offer,” said club CEO Andrew Fagan. Assistant coaches Laurie Fisher and Stephen Larkham, a former Wallaby with 102 Test caps, would step into the breach while permanent arrangements were made, with reports the club would likely elevate one of the pair.
