Erasmus will not depart South Africa before next year's Rugby World Cup in France

SA Rugby says that Rassie will stay in the country until the Rugby World Cup 2023

Rassie Erasmus should be the director of rugby for South Africa until at least the Rugby World Cup in 2023. The English RFU was said to be interested in Erasmus’ services, and Erasmus recently spoke about it in an interview with the Daily Mail. Rugby Fans can buy RWC 2023 Tickets from our website.

I don’t think the English would ever welcome me back. Maybe I’m mistaken. I’m hoping I’m mistaken. Would I be willing to coach in another country? Why not if my own people were cool with it and the people of the other country were cool with it? Erasmus remarked.

Erasmus was previously linked to the England job in 2020 when Afrikaans paper Rapport cited two sources who claimed that while Erasmus was on a long-term contract with SA Rugby, there was a clause in his contract that would have allowed him to leave sooner if an agreement with the English RFU could be reached.

Erasmus will not depart South Africa before next year’s Rugby World Cup in France, according to SA Rugby president Mark Alexander, who was quoted in Sunday’s issue of Rapport. We have a deal with him until the France Rugby World Cup in 2023. He is a man of honor, and he will be respected for it Alexander said.

My connection with Rassie and Jurie Roux (SA Rugby CEO) is excellent and honest. Frikkie Erasmus, Erasmus’ lawyer, was also questioned about the situation and did not rule out his client coaching England in the future. It is dependent on a number of factors, but it cannot be ruled out.

Last year, Erasmus made news when a 62-minute video of him criticizing officiating during the British and Irish Lions series was leaked and went viral. For his public criticism, he was later charged by World Rugby and barred from attending any matches for a year.

Erasmus admitted in a Daily Mail interview that this may have made him unpopular among rugby fans in the northern hemisphere. But if it will make my own people hate me, I will never do it (coach England), he continued. I despise the fact that so many people in rugby despise me right now. I’m not the type to get into a fight. I enjoy interacting with others.

My heart belongs to South Africa, but coaching England would be incredible because I believe they can win. I’d love to work with Ellis Genge as a coach. You can tell whether a prop is a dog if he looks the other prop in the eyes before a scrum. You don’t want a prop who is afraid and looks at his toes. Guys like Genge are what I’m looking for.

If South Africans welcomed me doing that, as Nick Mallett did when he went to coach Italy, I would be thrilled. I might consider it if I didn’t think South Africans would detest me on the street, Erasmus added.

Los Leones' RWC 2023 kicks off on Saturday, September 9, 2023

Spain ends long wait to qualify for Rugby World Cup 2023

Spain secured a place at the Rugby World Cup 2023 on Sunday with a 33-28 win over Portugal in Madrid. The win at the Estadio Nacional Universidad sees Spain finish second in the combined 2021 and 2022 European Rugby Championships table, regardless of the outcome of next Sunday’s final with Georgia.

It was a stunning turnaround for Los Leones, who started their RWC 2023 qualifying campaign with three consecutive defeats at the start of last season’s Rugby European Championship.

Santiago Santos’ squad has won six consecutive championship matches and next weekend’s game against Georgia in Tbilisi will be the title decider and a place in the Euro 2 qualifiers at RWC 2023.

Los Leones end their 24-year wait to qualify for a second Rugby World Cup with a short trip to France next year, where they will join the Webb Ellis Cup winners South Africa, Ireland, Scotland, and Asia in Group B Queue/Pacific 1 Qualifier.

Spain and Portugal played a match fit for the occasion on Sunday, with Iberia’s opponents giving everything they had in front of a large, loud crowd, all bathed in bright sunlight. Portugal’s ever-dependable striker Samuel Marques opened the scoring with a penalty, but the whole field rose as Jon Zabala ran straight home from 25 yards, head straight.

Los Leones couldn’t cope with the restart, however, and after the hosts got the ball in at number 22, Portugal tried a left corner for fullback Simao Bento, with Marques leading 10-5. Led by Zabala, the Spain attacker single-handedly took back control of the scoreboard as flankers Fred Quercy and Marco Pinto thundered at close range.

Unhampered by the double whammy, Portugal managed to take some good positions on the pitch and managed to convert possession and territory into points when Pedro Bettencourt quickly hit and knocked the ball down. But the final word on an exciting half was Spain, as Pinto continued his streak, scoring for the second and sixth in as many games before halftime.

Spain leads 24-17 with Manuel Ordas’ second conversion. The second half didn’t match the first in terms of the fluidity of the game, but the tension was still maddening thanks to the penalties from Manuel Ordas and Samuel Marques in the third quarter.  Leading 33-23, Spain was under immense pressure in the final 10 minutes, and their corner attempt was handed to second-row runner Ho after successive penalties and a yellow card to Charlie Melie Sai Madeira.

Portugal refused to convert with 19 seconds left in an attempt to finish this brilliant Euro Rugby commercial in the stands. Portugal announced a restart, but after several desperate stages before their own 22, they were penalized by French referee Tual Training as they held out and the scene of joyous celebrations for all in red began

While Portugal will need the Netherlands to host Romania on March 19 to finish third and qualify for the final, Spain’s 2023 place in France has now been confirmed. “It was a long trip and a very difficult qualifying process,” said Spanish coach Santiago Santos.

The team’s performance has been great and we are delighted to participate in the Rugby World Cup. Los Leones’ RWC 2023 kicks off on Saturday, September 9, 2023, when they face Ireland at Stade de Bordeaux.

Eight days later, Santiago Santos’ squad will face the Springboks in the same location before heading to Lille, where they will face Scotland on September 30 and take part in the Asia-Pacific qualifiers on October 8.

Spain last played at RWC 1999, where they tied in Group A with South Africa, Scotland, and Uruguay. Los Leones lost all three games, all in Scotland when they withdrew from the group stage.
