The 12 best Under-20 sides in the world will return to South Africa in June after World Rugby announced that the World Rugby U20 Championship will again be hosted in the Western Cape.
After weeks of speculation, SA Rugby has confirmed the appointment of Rassie Erasmus as head coach of the Springboks for the next four years, along with the rest of his coaching staff.
Former Springbok number eight Duane Vermeulen is reportedly set to be appointed to a high-ranking position within SA Rugby which will see him working alongside Rassie Erasmus and the Boks.
Recently retired Springbok loose forward Duane Vermeulen is awaiting a final decision from the South African Rugby Union as he looks set to take his first steps into coaching.
Rassie Erasmus says there is no excuse for club and school coaches who believe new tackle height laws for participation rugby are difficult to instil.
Injured Springbok lock RG Snyman is expected to return to action sooner than anticipated.
