Exiles turn to White ahead of Thomond clash

LONDON IRISH will have the benefit of advice from former Springboks coach Jake White in advance of this weekend’s Heineken Cup clash with Munster in Limerick.

White has been brought on board the London Irish ticket as a consultant on the shortest of short-term contracts (a week) and will advise the Exiles how to improve, despite the club ending a 10-match losing streak by virtue of Sunday’s 24-12 victory over the Ospreys.

London Irish Director of Rugby, Toby Booth, and his coaching staff persuaded White last week to help out and the World Cup-winning coach was happy to lend his services.
