Head Coach

Jake White

Born: 19 March, 1963, Johannesburg

Jake White joins the Brumbies in 2011 as Head Coach after establishing himself as one of the world's premier coaches during three decades of rugby in South Africa.

The former Springboks coach successfully guided his national team to a World Cup victory in 2007 after the side had struggled to keep pace with the rest of the world just three years prior. White's charismatic approach to coaching and his extensive knowledge of the game have been the focus of much attention during his anticipated arrival to Canberra.

He has assembled a quality blend of youth and experience and is looking to send his new team 'back to the future' in an effort to reclaim the past glory the Brumbies have enjoyed. 2012 is White's first year coaching at Super Rugby level and he brings new perspective and direction to the Brumbies.

 

Forwards Coach

Laurie Fisher

Born: 25 April, 1958 Canberra, ACT

Laurie Fisher returns to the University of Canberra Brumbies in 2012 after a successful stint with Irish club Munster. Fisher coached the University of Canberra Brumbies from 2005 through to 2008 and has a long affiliation with rugby in the ACT region and will take up with position of forwards coach.

During his time spent with Munster, the club won the 2008 Magners League title and his input as forwards coach proved valuable to the team’s success with a victory over the Wallabies in 2010 another highlight. Fisher will provide guidance and experience to a young but talented University of Canberra Brumbies forward pack in the 2012 Super Rugby campaign.
 

 

Backs Coach

Stephen Larkham

Born: 29 May 1974, Canberra, ACT
Nickname: Bernie

Having played 127 games for the city he grew up in, there would be few players in the world to be more Brumby than Stephen Larkham.

Larkham's combinations and calm-under-pressure nature made him a crowd favourite as a player and stands him in good stead to lead a backline brimming with talent and enthusiasm.

Larkham returned to Canberra and fulltime coaching with the University of Canberra Brumbies in 2011 after finishing his contract in Japan with the Ricoh Black Rams.

With the Brumbies set to field a young backline in 2011, an old head like Larkham will be essential if the team is to achieve its full potential.

 

Athletic Performance Director

Dean Benton

Dean Benton is a highly recommended and experienced Strength and Conditioning Coach having worked with the Australian Institute of Sport, the Wallabies and most recently the Brisbane Broncos.

His diverse experience base has allowed him to develope a wide rage of skills and knowledge to get the best from players in every position across the field.

Benton's no nonsense approach to conditioning and highly regarded ability to draft effective fitness programs were features of his trade the Brumbies Rugby staff were eager to bring on board at the end of the 2011 Super Rugby season.
 

 

Athletic Performance Coach

Aled Walters

Born: November 13, 1980, Wales

After spending the last two seasons in New Zealand working as the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at Taranaki, Aled comes to the Brumbies looking for his first taste of Super Rugby.

A Welshman with quick wit and plenty of enthusiasm, Walters has quickly slotted into his new roll after looking after the Brumbies Sydney-based players during the Shute Shield.

Walters rugby experiences have taken him right around the world after working wth Taranaki, Llanelli Scarlets, Doncaster Knights and Welsh international squads from Under 18's through to the senior team.
