NATIONAL NEWS - Springbok coach Allister Coetzee has written an explosive letter to South African Rugby CEO Jurie Roux in which he attacks the games governing body.
This is the clearest indication that Coetzee will no longer be the coach of the Springboks in 2018.
The coach sent a 19-page document via his legal representatives to Roux which pinned the blame of his rocky two-year tenure on external factors out of his control.
Rumours have been swirling around Coetzee’s position as head coach of the Springboks since December after two underwhelming years at the helm.
In the letter, Coetzee alleges he was told his contract would be terminated at a meeting with Roux on 18 January and that newly appointed Director of Rugby Rassie Erasmus will coach the Springboks in 2018.
