Former Springbok Victor Matfield made references to Erasmus coming to Ireland sparking speculation
South African director of rugby Rassie Erasmus will not be heading to Ireland to team up with the IRFU to replace the departing David Nucifora.. However, Erasmus categorically ruled out that he would be heading to Ireland to replace the 61-year-old Australian.
Former Springbok Victor Matfield made references to Erasmus coming to Ireland that sparked off speculation about what he would be doing after the World Cup ends in France at the end of next month. But the Springboks coach said he would not be following fellow South African coach, Jacques Nienaber to Dublin.
“No no, no, I won’t be,” said Erasmus. “There’s no talks. There’s no truth in that. I’m not sure where it’s come from but I definitely haven’t chatted to them . I’m definitely not following Jacques.”
