SA Rugby has officially tied down Rassie Erasmus for the long haul, approving a contract extension that will keep the Springbok boss in charge until the end of the 2031 Rugby World Cup.
The announcement came during Friday's general meeting, where unions were told that the renewal was as much about stability as it was about rewarding success.
SA Rugby president Mark Alexander said the organisation was reinforcing the foundations of its future by backing Erasmus for another cycle. He praised Erasmus not just for results, but for transforming the national side into a global benchmark. According to Alexander, the Springboks' approach under Erasmus blends raw power, sharp tactical awareness and unwavering composure, a formula that has restored South Africa's identity and dominance on the world stage.
