Felix Jones Tipped To Succeed Rassie Erasmus As Springbok Coach, Claims Former Ireland Player

Its difficult to imagine anyone other than Rassie Erasmus coaching the Springboks , after the 2027 Rugby World Cup, the legendary Bok coach will likely leave his post.

The fact is that the contract of Erasmus ends after the 2027 showpiece event, and after leading South Africa to two Webb Ellis Trophies in 2019 and 2023, he has already achieved everything he could as Springbok coach.

Thats at least according to fellow former Ireland international Alan Quinlan.

Felix Jones has gone back to South Africa, and they have a great coaching ticket there. They have great players, and I think Rassie Erasmus has obviously done an incredible job, Quinlan told Plejmo .

He's a strategist, isn't he? So he's not going to just walk away and leave South African rugby. I think they'll certainly be lining somebody up.
