Rassie Erasmus to quit coaching role after World Cup

Rassie Erasmus will step down from his role as coach of the Springboks after next year’s Rugby World Cup in Japan.
The former Munster director of rugby took over as South Africa coach from Allister Coetzee in February, and led the side through the Rugby Championship this year, where they finished second and managed to pull off an impressive win over the All Blacks. The Autumn Series tour to the northern hemisphere brought wins over France and Scotland but narrow defeats to England and Wales.
