Rassie Erasmus Responds To Rumours Linking Him With The Springboks Job

Rassie Erasmus has made it clear that he is not in the running to take the top job in South Africa.

The Springboks are set to relieve under-fire coach Allister Coetzee of his duties in the coming weeks after a disastrous season, with Erasmus and Munster’s defence coach Jacques Nienaber said to be top of SARU’s wish-list to replace him.

Erasmus however has now confirmed that his future lies with Munster, where is is in the first of a three-year deal.

Speaking at a media briefing in Limerick, Erasmus admitted that the South African set-up is going through a rough patch, but insisted that he’s ‘definitely not in the mix there.’

“There is so much speculation with things normally at this time of the year with players, but I just think the South African set-up is obviously going through a little bit of a rough patch which they will definitely get out of, I am pretty sure they will.

“When that happens there is always a lot of speculation around different coaches. I am definitely not in the mix there.”

Fantastic news for Munster fans.
