South Africa director of rugby Rassie Erasmus has only recently completed a lengthy suspensionLONDRES - South Africa head coach Jacques Nienaber has insisted Rassie Erasmus's latest ban will have no effect when the Springboks face England at Twickenham on Saturday, adding"all the facts" have yet to be made public.
But Nienaber, speaking after naming his team to play England, told reporters on Tuesday that Erasmus's latest suspension had no bearing on his team's morale.Former Springbok flanker Erasmus has only recently completed a stadium ban following a World Rugby suspension for his infamous hour-long video criticising referee Nic Berry's performance in the first Test between South Africa and the British and Irish Lions last year.
Erasmus said accusations his videos had led to threats of violence against experienced English referee Barnes were"completely unfounded". "Are you telling me Rassie is the only coach frustrated by a call that has gone the wrong way?" said Smit.Nienaber, however, said much of the debate about Erasmus's posts was taking place without the knowledge of the full facts.
