Rassie Steps Down as South Africa’s Director of Rugby...

...to become Springbok Head Coach again.
He will still keep some of the director's responsibilities.

Nienaber? Although perhaps nobody…as Gilbert and Sullivan said: ‘He’s got ‘em on the list, they’d none of ‘em be missed’.

One of Ba vuma's brother I guess.

The functioning  of the Springbok team since 2018 was controlled by Erasmus.   However, SB story is wrong - Erasmus will remain as Director of Rugby - but for the future will  also be  undertaking the functions of  Head Coach after Nienaber departs.   His rank will remain that of Director of Rugby - but it depends on Erasmus when the vacant post of Head coach will be filled.

Erasmus has a problem - none of the franchise coaches bar the Stormers have shown the needed requirements to be the Chief Coach of the Springboks.   White has heath problems - but the Bulls are not well off under him.    

I think Erasmus will look at potential development of a Head Coach  in future - but as stated bearing in mind the failure of White - he will look at the various potential franchise coaches and then decide on the way forward.   .
