Jake White meets The Breakfast Stack

Jake White meets The Breakfast Stack

New Sharks Director of Rugby Jake White and Sharks CEO John Smit popped in for a cup of coffee...and M&M'S...with The Breakfast Stack this morning. See the 'behind-the-scenes' photos here.

The winning duo were in studio to chat to us ahead of tomorrow's all-important game in Durban. 

The Sharks take on Western Province at Growthpoint Kings Park Stadium tomorrow evening.

So, what do you do when you have a World Cup winning coach and a World Cup winning player/CEO in the studio?

Well, you play silly buggers is what you do.

In-between all the serious questions like "why is Lambie playing off the bench?" and "What is Jake White planning to do differently with the Sharks for Super 15?" we had to play a game - which would in itself be very telling...

Straight out of the "In it to win it" game show came a competition to see who could extricate, through a drinking straw, the most M&M'S from a cup.

Both men claim not to be overly competitive but when the timer started they dived into the candy coated challenge with wild abandon.

The biggest question was now: who is the better sucker?

(Above: Hmmm, Jake, looks like you've hidden some sweets in that second cup)

They both magnanimously claimed a draw but what they don't know is that I am a closet case TMO!

Here's the video evidence that will put to bed the big question...Will Jake White or John Smit emerge as The Greatest Sucker?
