JOHANNESBURG – The worst-kept secret in South African sport is out as SA Rugby on Friday named the new Springboks coaching team to take over from that of Rassie Erasmus.
Jacques Nienaber was named as the new Springbok coach on Friday as part of a revised coaching panel. The new panel will report directly to Rassie Erasmus, South Africa’s director of rugby. Nienaber is promoted from an assistant coach’s role to carry the day-to-day responsibility while Erasmus will continue to direct strategy in a tweaking of a panel that is heavily accented on continuity.
Mzwandile Stick has been reappointed as an assistant coach while in an innovative inclusion, Felix Jones will continue but in a new role as a European-based coaching consultant. There are two new appointments with Deon Davids appointed forwards coach while Daan Human – the Vodacom Bulls’ scrum coach – takes up the same role with the Springboks on a shared basis.
