🏈Who will SA Rugby consider to take over from Jacques Nienaber when he bows out from the Springboks after the World Cup? Find out here⬇️ Springboks RugbyNews TheCitizenSport
While the news of his departure is not surprising, the announcement on Saturday was, but I sense someone got wind of it and SA Rugby and Nienaber wanted to control what was said and how.Anyhow. Nienaber will be done with the Boks later this year with his next job being at Irish powerhouse Leinster. Well done to him and good luck … however, please keep your focus on the Boks and the World Cup for the next few months.
And while SA Rugby have stated director of rugby and 2019 World Cup mastermind Rassie Erasmus is “locked in” until 2025 I wouldn’t be surprised if he too were to say thanks to SA rugby and also move on post the tournament in France … whatever happens with the Boks.
The reality is many of the current crop of Boks won’t be going to the World Cup in 2027 so a fresh start is possibly not the worst scenario. However, because of all the good work done by the current 2019 World Cup-winning group, from players to coaching team, a complete overhaul also wouldn’t be the wisest thing.
I wonder when would be the best time to name a replacement for Nienaber: before the World Cup to settle everyone’s nerves, or only after? What an interesting few months lie ahead.","category_class":"child-of-news","time_ago":"8 hours ago","premium":false,"gallery":false,"excerpt":"Here;’s your morning news update: An easy-to-read selection of our top stories.
