First of all I fail to understand what you called is a lie. Erasmus left in A ugust 2007 from the WC coaching set-up and it had nothing to do with the process of SARU in December 2007, I did refer to the fact that after the 2007 White was frequently exposed as a deficient coach,
The same reason for leaving was subsequently exposed by -
- the Springbok players like Smit and Mattfield confirmed that the relationship between the 2007 players and White was poor and in his book Smit wrote that there never were game plans developed by White,
- Afer 2007 Whites coaching came under fire repeatedly in the case of the Sharks. Montpellier and the Busll
- Since 2007 no teams coached by White never won any trophies at all.
What is clear is that Erasmus knew White was a deficient coach impossible to work with and although he never said a word about the departure in 2007 - the fact is that Erasmus saw deficiencies in White's coaching and knew nothing he did or suggested would have changed that..
White was sacked by 4 employers based on 4 reasons:
- No game plans used
- Breakdowns with coaching staff
- Bad player management and treating of players like school boys;
- Divide players into different camps destroyng team spirit from within/
What is clear Erasmus left the set-up in 2007 for exactly the same reasons that caused White's subsequenr dismissals.
