Who was first choice to replace Stuart Lancaster in 2015? Eddie Jones was FIFTH

#1. Jake White – 9/2

The 52-year-old South African, who was currently in charge of French Top 14 side Montpellier, was installed as the initial favourite for the job. White, who infamously rejected the job following Martin Johnson’s departure, was given an interview for the job but wasn’t fancied by the RFU.
