South Africa Head Coach Rassie Erasmus says that he will not stay on as head coach even if he leads the Springboks to World Cup glory in Japan next year.

Erasmus is adamant he will revert to the wider brief given to him by the South African Rugby Union when they handed him the role of Director of Rugby with responsibility for all areas of the game until the 2023 World Cup is over.

Erasmus leaving after next years World Cup means South Africa will join England in attempting to identify a new high profile coach to take their national team to the 2023 World Cup in France.

With Eddie Jones ending his time with England, he will enter the equation for not only the Australia top job but also with the Springboks.

Jones was a member of the coaching team that helped South Africa win the 2007 World Cup the last time it was held in France.
