Ahead of the Wallabies' squad announcement on Sunday, White said last year players were getting to know the new coaching staff and their expectations, but this year it was about getting results.
"Across the five teams, we've seen that we probably don't have the depth to challenge the Kiwis at the moment. But give us time," he said.
"We've certainly got more than enough talent within Australia to pick 38 quality footy players to take on the French, who are in some really good form and then the Kiwis and the South Africans and Argie [Argentina], so there's no kind of waiting, we'll be shooting for results and making sure we win.

"They'll be a lot of hard work that has to go into that in the next couple of weeks for those picked but we've certainly got some unbelievable talent and when the Wallabies come together there will certainly be some expectations that we start getting results.
"Last year whilst only losing two, we only won one, a hell of a lot of draws wasn't there, so looking to change that."
The Wallabies will announce a squad at 1.30pm today, ahead of the side's three French Tests.
White, alongside other Brumbies' Allan Alaalatoa, James Slipper, Noah Lolesio, Scott Sio, Tom Wright, Tom Banks, Rob Valetini, Irae Simone, Darcy Swain, Len Ikitau, Andy Muirhead, Nick Frost and Lachlan Lonergan are all in contention to be named.
