Springboks Risk Losing Rassie Erasmus as Contract Talks StallSouth Africa could be in danger of losing Rassie Erasmus after the next Rugby World Cup, with the Springboks’ head coach yet to commit to a new deal. While Erasmus has expressed a desire to remain with the team until the end of 2031, negotiations with SA Rugby have not been finalised. Among them is Tony Brown, the New Zealander who became the Boks’ attack coach following their 2023 World Cup triumph. SA Rugby Stresses Importance of Securing Rassie ErasmusErasmus remains the most valuable asset, with SA Rugby acknowledging the importance of securing his services. Having steered South Africa to back-to-back Rugby World Cup victories and recently reclaiming the Rugby Championship for the first time since 2019, Erasmus is regarded as central to the Springboks’ continued dominance.
