"I think what's really important is to realise where you have come from and their level of progress in four months has been astounding, and Rassie takes most of the credit for that because he has really made this place a fortress again. "There is a pep in their step. Their players are really performing well, they're hungry and it means a lot to them to play for Munster."It will cause many a Munster heart to flutter, then, when they learn of SuperSport reports that South African's rugby union [SARU] are lining up Erasmus as a replacement for current Springboks coach Allister Coetzee.
The South African broadcaster has suggested SARU would be more than willing to buy Erasmus and Nienaber out of the remaining two years of their Munster contracts. Coetzee's reign as Springboks head coach has been forgettable. The southern hemisphere giants were thumped twice by New Zealand last year and lost to Ireland, Wales and Italy too.
However, Erasmus' lawyer Frikkie Erasmus has dismissed the job links. He told rugby365:
"Rassie has a contract with Munster and won't come here to talk to people while he is doing so well at Munster. "He is very happy in Ireland and he doesn't have the interference there that happens here in South Africa. He has a long stint to go on what is a very good contract."Munster supporters will be eager to hang onto the man who has revived their rugby fortunes in less than nine months.

Instead of a field or the gym, they were filmed on a Dublin street doing maul drills, while others causally tossed the ball around. It is unclear exactly where […]
