by Pete South | Rassie Erasmus insists he isn’t interested in succeeding Peter De Villers as the new South Africa head coach, saying he “definitely isn’t available†for the job.
Erasmus joined De Villiers’ back room staff during the World Cup on a temporary basis, and has been touted as a possible replacement for the job, but says he has no interest in taking up the role, instead opting to continue his work as Director of Rugby at Western Province and helping the Springboks during the 2015 World Cup in England.
