Glasgow Warriors prop Jerry Yanuyanutawa was coached by Jake White at the Brumbies
Jerry Yanuyanutawa says the Warriors will face a highly motivated Montpellier team in Sunday’s European Rugby Champions Cup match at Scotstoun.
The French side have lost all four of their Cup matches so far, but those defeats were sustained while Fabien Galthie was in charge. Galthie was replaced by Jake White at the end of last month, and the South African put down his marker by guiding them to a 16-12 victory over European champions Toulon in his very first game.
Jerry’s knowledge of the coach is based on their season together with the ACT Brumbies in Australia and he is convinced that White is a formidable and inspirational character.

Jerry said: “I was there for a year when Jake was there. I would say that Jake is a very calculating coach, very smart, always a forward planner. Coming here, he won’t have the French mentality. He will be wanting to come here to get a victory.
“Jake took over and brought through a young group. Everyone thought that we would finish bottom of the super Rugby table, but we ended up finishing in the middle. The year after, we played in the final, and that’s all due to Jake White bringing players through.
“When I was under Jake, I found that he made the group believe in themselves. That year, everyone wrote us off, but he came in as a good planer and a good manager and he knew how to get the job done.
“Jake is a good in finding motivations for players. I wouldn’t be surprised if he finds something to get the French boys up. I know everyone will probably be talking them down, and that they’ll throw this away, but knowing Jake White he’s not that kind of coach.”
