Munster Prepare Themselves To Lose Rassie Erasmus

Munster look set to lose the services of Rassie Erasmus.

The South African looks set to tie up a return to his native country this week with more talks scheduled.

The Rugby Paper are reporting that he has been offered his old role back as Director of Rugby and has verbally agreed a deal.

Erasmus revealed last week that he had a similar clause in his contract to Pat Lam, which allows him to leave his current deal early providing he give six months notice. The42 understands that Munster are now preparing themselves to receive that communication.

Should Erasmus leave, it’s understood that Munster would consider making a move to promote assistant coach Jacques Nienaber.
