Rassie Erasmus’ new coaching appointments show the Springbok mentor is under no illusions about what lies in wait for the world champions in 2024.

The Boks earlier in the week confirmed major changes to their coaching team, with Erasmus now officially signed on as head coach until the end of the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia. 

With both former head coach Jacques Nienaber and attack coach Felix Jones having moved on, the coaching staff takes on a new look as preparations for a third successive World Cup crown get underway.
