The Brumbies have dismissed reports their World Cup-winning coach Jake White could turn his back on the Super Rugby franchise for the vacant England post before he's even coached a game.

White, who masterminded South Africa's World Cup triumph in 2007, has been linked to the England job and seemed to throw his hat in at the weekend, saying he wants to be the first coach to win a second World Cup.

Brumbies chief executive Andrew Fagan says White still has international rugby ambitions, but not before his four-year contract with the ACT-based side is up.
