Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Rassie Erasmus has officially returned to the role of Springbok head coach in a team that now also includes Jaco Peyper, Tony Brown and Jerry Flannery.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Erasmus, who helped steer the Springboks to back-to-back Rugby World Cup titles in 2019 and 2023, will take up the position for the next four years.The coaching team has had a reshuffle after Jacques Nienaber and Felix Jones vacated their positions but the talents of Mzwandile Stick, Deon Davids, Daan Human and Andy Edwards (head of athletic performance) have been retained on contracts that run until the end of the 2027 World Cup in Australia.<\/p>\n

Peyper, South Africa\u2019s top referee for the better part of the last decade, will take up a full-time position as national laws adviser. He recently called time on his career, ending sixth on the list of the most experienced Test referees.<\/p>\n

Bok No 8 and double World Cup winner Duane Vermeulen will also be part of the set-up, though he will have a roving role that includes other teams within SA Rugby\u2019s set-up. He will become the third member of a mobi-coaching unit, joining forces with existing coaches Franzel September and Bafana Nhleko.<\/p>\n
