Botha hits out at White

Former Springbok captain Naas Botha has angrily lashed out at Jake White, saying that the South African rugby public has had enough of the South Africa coach’s excuses.

Botha, who was White’s manager at the IRB Under-21 championship in 2002 and 2003, and widely considered as Springbok manager this year, is considered a close confidante of the beleaguered coach, who has won just four of his 10 Tests this year and lost five in a row away from home.
