O’Sullivan’s Successor - Names in the Frame - Part #4
Mike Ruddock & Jake White have both ruled themselves out of the frame for the Ireland job.
Ruddock who also coached Leinster, has been linked with the job - but has two years left on his Worcester contact and would like to see the job through.
Jake White who has been out of rugby since leading the Springboks to their World Cup victory last November, was also in the frame but his agent Craig Livingston said it “would definitely not be a consideration for Jake”. He appears to be keen on the England post mind!
It’s also been suggested that Pat Howard although leaving his job with the Australian Rugby Union at the end of the month, is not keen to uproot his family back to the Northern Hemisphere
