Rassie Erasmus, the mastermind behind the Springboks, has provided an update on the chemical burns that landed him in the hospital. These burns were described as a "freak" incident and were severe, as illustrated by graphic images shared by Erasmus on social media. While there have been delays in announcing changes to the coaching staff, Erasmus is expected to return as the head coach. Tony Brown, a former All Black, will take over the attack coaching duties, while Jerry Flannery is set to handle the defensive coaching. Additionally, there are reports that Duane Vermeulen, a former Springbok, will take up a high-level position with SA Rugby. As Erasmus plans for the future, he must consider which players from the current team will be able to compete in the next Rugby World Cup. The Springboks' upcoming test fixtures for 2024 include matches against Ireland, Portugal, New Zealand, and Argentina.
