Jake White: I won’t go through arduous process to be England rugby coach

Jake White has warned England he will not be submitted to the “rigmarole” of an arduous application process for the vacant head coach role.

The Montpellier boss challenged the RFU to install him as their top choice before he considers succeeding Stuart Lancaster as new head coach.

White has twice been spurned at the final hurdle by the RFU, when Martin Johnson took control in 2008 and again when Lancaster was handed the reins in 2012.
