Rassie Erasmus is set to be named as a high performance manager by the South African Rugby Union (SARU).

Die Burger reports that Erasmus could be appointed in his new position as early as Friday.

SARU’s executive council gathered in Cape Town on Thursday and according to SARU’s communications head, Andy Colquhoun, they’re not planning “big announcements”.

But even if the announcement isn’t made on Friday, Die Burger says it will in all likelihood happen very soon. This thus confirms month-long speculations that Erasmus will be appointed in a top job at SARU.

Erasmus’s position will effectively be that of director of rugby under Springbok level, which will include the establishment of coaching structures and playing style.

The position won’t conflict with the responsibilities of Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer but Erasmus should become involved at Springbok management level and take part in the planning processes.

SARU is yet to make an announcement regarding Meyer’s assistants in the Bok camp, but they are likely to consist of: Ricardo Loubscher (backline coach), John McFarland (defence), Louis Koen (kicking), Basil Carzis (fitness and conditioning) and De Jongh Borchardt (media manager).

Erasmus’s involvement at SARU could mean that the Stormers’ defence coach, Jacques Nienaber, also becomes involved at a later stage. Nienaber and Erasmus have a good understanding and worked together at Free State and Western Province. Nienaber has turned the Stormers into arguably the best defensive side in Super Rugby over the last few seasons.

    Eishhhh will it be the day i fear. I dont like Rassie , but that is my opinion.
    Rather get the jobless Mallet in somewhere, also not one of my favorites but the better of two evils.

    dit mag dalk ñ goeie thread wees vir die volgende:
    Die Drol…..

    DIE SPOOK DROL
    Jy voel hom uitkom, maar wanneer jy kyk, is daar niks in die toilet nie

    DIE SKOON DROL
    Jy voel hom uitkom, jy sien hom in die toilet, maar daar is niks op die papier nie

    DIE NAT DROL
    Die tipe waar jy jou gat 50 keer afvee, maar dit voel nogsteeds vuil, dan moet jy toiletpapier in jou onderbroek sit sodat jy nie briekmerke los nie

    DIE SECOND-WAVE DROL
    Dit gebeur wanneer jy klaar is met die taak, jou broek tot by jou knieë optrek en dan agterkom dat daar nog een oppad is

    DIE BARS-’N-AAR-IN-JOU-KOP DROL
    Die tipe waar jy so hard druk om die bliksem uit te kry dat jy letterlik ‘n hartaanval kry

    DIE BOOMSTOMP
    Die tipe drol wat so groot is, dat jy te bang is om hom weg te spoel sonder om hom eers in kleiner stukkies op te breek (Dit gebeur gewoonlik wanneer jy by ander mense se huise is)

    DIE FREE-FLOW-EXHAUST DROL
    Die tipe wat so hard raas wanneer hy uitkom, dat die kakhuisdeur eintlik rattle

    DIE MORNING-AFTER DROL
    Die tipe drol wat die oggend na ‘n heavy party uitkom. Sy bekendste kenmerk is die briekmerke wat hy onder in die toilet los

    DIE MIELIE DROL
    Die tipe drol waarin die mielies wat jy geëet het soos rosyntjies in ‘n muffin sit

    DIE EK-WENS-EK-KON DROL
    Die tipe waar jy gedink het jy moet, maar al wat uitkom is ‘n paar poepe.

    DIE RUGBREEK DROL
    Die tipe drol wat so seermaak wanneer hy uitkom, dat jy dink hy het jou sideways verlaat

    DIE MICHAEL-SCHUMACHER DROL
    Die tipe wat so vinnig uitkom, dat hy jou hele hol nat spat

    DIE HANG DROL
    Hierdie drol weier eenvoudig net om uit te val, al is jy klaar.

    DIE GEDOG DROL
    Jy’t gedog jy gaan poep, toe kak jy in jou broek..
