Rugby: The Wallabies are cold on Jake White but the pressure remains on Michael Cheika

If there are still people who want to help the Wallabies change things in time for next year's World Cup, they are now warned that the best thing to do is keep your mouth shut .

Former South African World Cup coach Jake White has just discovered how difficult it always is to determine who should be the underperforming Australian coach.

Rugby Australia had secretly agreed to connect to the phone with White after contacting him to request a hearing, but once the details of the scheduled conference call were leaked to News Corp, RA's boss, Raelene Castle, immediately canceled the call.

The call was scheduled to take place on Thursday night but was interrupted at the last minute as soon as the jury heard that the board was addressing another coach after insisting that Cheika's work was not going to happen. was not at stake

RA has repeatedly stated that Cheika would remain as a head coach until next year's World Cup in Japan, despite the poor performance of his field team and his call. to be sacked.

Speculation about Cheika's future only intensified when the Wallabies were hammered by England last weekend to end the season with 9 losses in 13 tests. The news of the confidential relationship with White was therefore seen as the first sign of reflection by the jury.

The council has already begun a review of the 2018 season and plans to meet on December 10th. Cheika is generally expected to retain her position, mainly because there are fewer than 10 months left before the World Cup and RA does not have a job yet. save the money available to pay for it and hire a short-term replacement.

The name of White has been in the mix for a while because he is a recognized artist, having led the Springboks to victory at the 2007 World Cup in France, and he also has a close and long association with l & # 39; Australia.

He hired Eddie Jones as one of his assistants in 2007 and coached the Brumbies in 2012 and 2013, leading the team to the finals in 2013.

The South African applied for the Wallabies coaching post when Robbie Deans resigned in 2013 but lost to Ewen McKenzie. He therefore requested a release of the Brumbies and returned to South Africa.

The 54-year-old Japanese is currently a rugby coach of clubs in Japan, but he would have been available for Australia if the Wallabies post had been promoted. It would also be attributed a former Wallaby very prominent.
