So lets go through the history insofar as teams coached by White since 2008 are concerned,   In 2013 the Brumbies was coached by White,  They got through to the semiand had to play the Bulls at Loftus.   They were behind in points until Morne Steyn made one of his spectacular match-losing bugger-ups that cost the Bulls the game - so the Brumbies went through to the final - but was comprehensively beaten by the Chiefs.
Next story was White's involvement with the Sharks - the team which reached the final in 2012 after beating the Reds in the play-offs in Brisbane, then back to Cape Town the next week for the semi and then back to Hamilton to play the Chiefs in the final.  The next year the Sharks was decimated by injuries and by rank stupidity by  Smit who brought in  White as the coach in 2014.   The Sharks did well to get through to the semi against the Crusaders - where they were comprehensively beaten by the Crusaders.
The Sharks effectively fired White after his first year with them and his next franchise/club appointment as a coach was at Montpellier.   So how did Montpellier do this year in Top 14.   They got through to the play-offs and was then beaten by Racing Metro.   So who lost the game for them last week?   None other than Fat Fransie - the great ball-hogger - the ball hardly got past him in that game = he made less than 2 meters per carry and his defense was shockingly poor.    Standard Fat Fransie fare.
So we get to the only conclusion possible.   White has a gae plan that produce the goods in lesser games - but cannot win crucial games unless the games are gofted to the team.  
Tragedy is that despite the total bugger-up by Fat Fransie in the game last Saturday he is in the Springbok squad!!!!!!!

White had 2 years at the Brumbies. If memory serves me, he made the semi in his first year, and then the final in the 2nd year?
White has no clue about backline play on attack like most coaches- but the othe r stuff he is good at.

 The only conclusion is that ou maaaaikie is hoplessly biased. In every case White dramatically improved the team he was coaching as he improved the Boks.No more of this nonsense ou maaaaikie you are in danger of making ou rootwitterbug look good. If you continue in this vein it will be a case of making dense denise look good. That is about as bad as it gets !!!
