Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus ended all speculation on the future of Tony Brown, when he stated that the New Zealand coach was locked in until at least 2027, but that they hoped the New Zealander would stay on beyond that.
The double World Cup winning Bok mentor , however, conceded that the attack coach harbours huge ambitions of coaching his home country and that he may join up with them after the World Cup in Australia next year.
Ever since the sudden axing of Scott Robertson just a couple of weeks ago, speculation has been rife about Brown being part of the next New Zealand rugby coaching group, which could be headed up by his good friend and former coaching partner Jamie Joseph.
