2007 World Cup-winning Springbok coach Jake White Will be appointed the Flying Fijian Head Coach Heading to the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia.

The 62-year-old has emerged as the leading contender to take charge of Fiji ahead of next year’s World Cup.

“He is on their shortlist and is regarded as the favourite. In Fiji, they are already talking about him as the new head coach,” a source told Rapport.

Fiji have been without a permanent head coach since Mick Byrne stepped down in April, with Senirusi Seruvakula taking charge on an interim basis.

White is currently working as a consultant at Selborne College in East London. He previously served as the Bulls’ director of rugby from 2020 to 2025.
