Erasmus will wait for JVG ‘the master of all’

Rassie Erasmus has talked up his successor as Munster coach as a ‘master of many trades’ and reiterated that he will delay his own return to South Africa until Johann van Graan is ready to take over.

Frikkie Erasmus, Erasmus’ lawyer, said last week that the Munster director of rugby would be home in his native land to begin his new role with the South African rugby union by November 1.

The man himself wasn’t nearly so definitive after yesterday’s draw in France.
