Springbok defence coach Jerry Flannery said the onus is on him to build on predecessor Jacques Nienaber’s solid foundation with the back-to-back world champions.
Former Ireland hooker Flannery has been appointed to run South Africa’s defence under Rassie Erasmus following Nienaber’s departure after the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
“There’s no pressure ! When I was at Munster and Rassie and Jacques came in, he was just incredible, and Rassie spoke about his incredible work ethic,” Flannery told reporters. “Because of the Springboks’ success in the World Cup, they have a big target on their back,” he added. “We must therefore continue to develop, on defence, on attack, our kicking game, and fixed phases continuously.
