❝ It is difficult to read the mood of Nic White. The Australian scrumhalf talks of his players with good intentions but goes about it the wrong way (via IrishTimesSport)
The wonderfully moustached White is no stranger to Ireland. He spent three seasons with Exeter Chiefs and before that two with Montpellier. He and Jamison Gibson-Park have glared at each other across a scrum before.
White by his own admission has had a long season. While Australia is not putting that out as an excuse, his stint on the bench last week watching Italy win for the first time was a welcome break. “Yeah, for me yeah it’s been a long year,” says the 32-year-old White. “It was always the plan to start one, bench one, have one off. As you’ve seen we’ve been rotated. Yeah look, I certainly feel pretty good this Monday to where I was last Monday.“Like I said it’s been a pretty big year for all of us. Personally speaking, it’s the second game I’ve missed. The other one was for the birth of my son, so I’ve played a lot of footy this year. I think it was good planning.
“Yeah, I think we know what to expect from Ireland this week in terms of they’re going to be good,” says White.
