Iol.co.za's Ashfak Mohamed reports on the battle to be the new Springboks coach.
"Despite John Mitchell’s success with the Lions in the Currie Cup, Rassie Erasmus and Allister Coetzee are the favourites to run Springbok rugby from next year.
"A source in the top echelons of the South African Rugby Union (Saru) has said that Western Province and Stormers coach Coetzee is regarded as the “No 1 choice” to replace Peter de Villiers as Bok coach, with Erasmus earmarked for a new post of Saru director of rugby.
"It is understood that all national team coaches will report to Erasmus, although it is unclear exactly what the director’s role and jurisdiction will be.
"At this moment, Allister is still the No 1 choice to be the Springbok coach,” the source said."
