Jacques Nienaber has been named as the new Springbok coach.
This, as part of a revised coaching panel, that will report directly to Rugby Director Rassie Erasmus.
The 47-year-old Nienaber said: "This is a massive honour and responsibility, but I think I have a good understanding of what it entails, especially in this new structure."
I’ve worked with Rassie in a coaching capacity for nearly two decades now and we have a very good idea of how each of us thinks and as I’ll still be reporting to him our working relationship won’t be changing, " he added.
Mzwandile Stick has been re-appointed as an assistant coach while Felix Jones will have a new role as a European-based coaching consultant.
There are two new appointments with Deon Davids appointed forwards coach while Daan Human " the Vodacom Bulls’ scrum coach " takes up the same role with the Springboks on a shared basis.
