Erasmus says Wessels is ‘one of the good fits’ for Munster job

Rassie Erasmus has endorsed potential Munster successor Dave Wessels as “one of the good fits” to replace him as director of rugby.

Erasmus is set to return to his native South Africa as soon as a replacement can be found following his decision to leave Munster, less than halfway through his three-year contract.

Defence coaching specialist Wessels, 36, was a consultant analyst under Erasmus at Super Rugby’s Stormers and went on, via the Brumbies, to become head coach of Western Force.
