Rassie Erasmus, the Springboks director of rugby, will complete a two-game matchday ban on Saturday after publishing a series of tweets that appeared to mock decisions made by officials during the Autumn Nations Series.
LONDON - England coach Eddie Jones said referees had to be treated with respect ahead his team's meeting with a South Africa side who will be without Rassie Erasmus at Twickenham.
Erasmus had only just returned from a year-long suspension following his infamous hour-long video criticising referee Nic Berry's performance during the 2021 tour by the British and Irish Lions. "That's been done before hasn't it? Usually by the Tottenham manager! I'm sure he will get in there somehow," the veteran Australian coach added.
South Africa were too strong for Jones' men in the 2019 World Cup final, overpowering England 32-12 in Yokohama.
