Rassie Erasmus won’t be part of the cast when Munster face South Africa ‘A’ in Cork on Thursday but the Boks will nonetheless be clued in to the unique challenge that the province presents for any international touring side.

Now South Africa’s Director of Rugby, Erasmus spent almost 18 months in the same role with Munster before returning home to rejuvenate the ailing Springboks, who went on to win the World Cup in 2019.
