South Africa head coach Jacques Nienaber is to quit his role after the Rugby World Cup in France this year to join Irish side Leinster, where he will replace senior coach Stuart Lancaster.

Nienaber was assistant coach with the Springboks when they won the 2019 World Cup in Japan and was elevated to the top job when Rassie Erasmus returned to his director of rugby position after the tournament."The last few years have been the highlight of my coaching career and it’s with a heavy heart that I’m finishing up my time with the Springboks and leaving the country for personal reasons," Nienaber said in a news release from South African Rugby on Saturday.

Leinster head coach Leo Cullen is looking forward to working alongside the South African when Lancaster leaves for Racing 92 at the end of the current season. "With the addition of the South African teams to the United Rugby Championship and the Champions Cup, Jacques’ in-depth knowledge and experience of working with the Springboks will be a great addition to the group."
