SA Rugby have already compiled a shortlist of four possible replacements after White, who led the Springboks to glory in France 10 days ago, told them he did not intend to stay in his post.

A statement on www.sarugby.net read: "The panel to appoint the national coach met on Monday in Johannesburg to further discuss the process and to finalise the shortlist for the position of Springbok coach."

It added: "It was confirmed that Jake White did not apply for the position and he was therefore not considered.

"SA Rugby recently met with White to discuss the matter, and can confirm that White advised SA Rugby that he does not want to make a decision on his coaching future at this point in time.

"The panel has therefore compiled a shortlist of four candidates and their names will not be released until they have been informed."

White took charge of the Boks in 2004 and oversaw a stunning transformation in their fortunes, culminating in the 15-6 win over England in the World Cup final earlier this month.

He has previously expressed a desire to coach the English national side, although Brian Ashton's performance in leading the Red Rose to an unexpected final berth means he may have to wait to fulfil that wish.

White is likely to instead be linked with vacancies in Wales and Australia, whose coaches, Gareth Jenkins and John Connelly, respectively, both left in the wake of early World Cup exits.
