The request was approved by SA Rugby and the Springbok management as part of the organisation\u2019s ongoing collaboration with its member unions.<\/p>\n
The Bok coaches will engage with the Bulls on a limited basis, both remotely and in person where required, in line with SA Rugby\u2019s standard practice of sharing national coaching resources when requested.<\/p>\n
Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus said the support reflected the existing working relationship between the Springboks and the franchises.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe maintain regular engagement with our franchises, and when they request input in specific areas, we assist within the normal scope of our roles,\u201d said Erasmus.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe understand the importance of a strong, collaborative relationship between our provincial teams and the Springboks, as it ultimately benefits South African rugby as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n
SA Rugby CEO Rian Oberholzer welcomed the collaboration: \u201cOur approach has always been to work collaboratively with our franchises where possible. We want to see all our teams perform to the best of their ability, and we will continue to support them when they reach out for assistance.\u201d<\/p>\n
The support is short-term in nature and does not constitute any formal appointment with the franchise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The request was approved by SA Rugby and the Springbok management as part of the organisation\u2019s ongoing collaboration…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":375963,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[567],"tags":[64,63,760,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-375962","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-rugby","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-rugby","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375962","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=375962"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375962\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/375963"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=375962"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=375962"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=375962"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
