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.
