NEW ERA BECKONS FOR SA RUGBY

A new coach (or a return for Rassie) and two new technical members will lead the Boks into the next few seasons with expectations sky-high. Whoever is appointed to step up will have to maintain the world class defensive standards set by Rassie, Nienaber and former defensive consultant, Jones.

Duane Vermeulen has been dubbed as a future Boks coach. In fact, he has recently been linked with a player-coach role at the Stormers having retired from international rugby as a Springboks legend. He is a man who prides himself on defence. Stay tuned to The South African as we reveal the two new Boks technical members as it is made known.
