This is unthinkable really. I guess SARU are waiting for Nienaber to fail to install Deon Davids as the coach. Black coach, black captain. Their dream scenario.
Rassie Erasmus has reportedly held talks with the English RFU to discuss the possibility of replacing Eddie Jones as England head coach.
Erasmus coached the Springboks to the 2019 World Cup and Rugby Championship double, claiming the Webb Ellis trophy with a 32-12 win against Jones' England in the World Cup final.
He has since stepped back to focus on his responsibilities as SA Rugby director of rugby, with former assistant coach Jacques Nienaber stepping up as the new Springbok head coach.
However, according to Sunday newspaper Rapport in a piece written by highly-respected journalist Hendrik Cronje, Erasmus has apparently held talks with the RFU, who want him to take over from Jones when the latter's contract expires at the end of 2021.
