Nathan White joins Pat Lam ticket as Connacht lick their wounds

Former Irish prop Nathan White has been added to the Connacht coaching ticket for the remainder of the season.

The 35-year old, who was forced to retire earlier in this campaign following a concussion injury which kept him out of action since last March, is to join Pat Lam’s management team.

Connacht Eagles coach and former Munster player Mossy Lawler, who is the elite player development officer at the Sportsground, is also to step in and help fill the gap left by the departure this weekend of skills coach Dave Ellis.
