White added to Connacht coaching staff

Former Irish prop Nathan White has been added to the Connacht coaching staff for the remainder of the season.

White was forced to retire earlier this season following a concussion injury which kept him out of action since last March.

White is to join Pat Lam's management team and praised his work with helping players returning from absences.

"Whitey has been good, particularly with the RTPs (return to play). Whitey has been in there a bit when he has been injured. Whitey has the ambition to do coaching as well. So this is a good step for him."
