LISTEN: Jacques Nienaber’s exit: What next for the Boks?
The big question now, is who will take over from the departing Nienaber after this year's Rugby World Cup?
It’s been the biggest talking point this week: Who’ll replace Jacques Nienaber when the current Springbok coach departs to Ireland and a job with Leinster after the 2023 World Cup?
Several names have already been mentioned, among them Johan Ackermann and John Dobson, and current Bok assistants Mzwandile Stick and Deon Davids.
Are there other options, and what will director of rugby Rassie Erasmus decide to do after the World Cup — stay in South Africa and honour his SA Rugby contract to 2025, or will he, too, look to move on?
These are some of the topics discussed on this week’s Talking Point podcast, hosted by Trevor Cramer and joined in studio by The Citizen head of sport, Jacques van der Westhuyzen.
This week’s podcast also includes a quick chat about the last round of URC matches before the playoffs commence, while the popular Gold Star winner and Flop of the Week are also picked.
