Blue Bulls Director of Rugby Heyneke Meyer has been announced as the new head coach of the Springboks.
Meyer's contract is for the next four years.
SARU president Oregan Hoskins put an end to the worst kept secret in South African rugby at a noon press conference in Cape Town today.
An emotional Meyer said it was the fulfillment of a life-long ambition for him to coach the Springboks.
SARU CEO Jurie Roux said Meyer's assistant coaches would be named in due course - as would a new captain to replace the retired Jon Smit.
