Former Munster man to take up Boks defence coach role

South Africa Rugby president Mark Alexander says Jerry Flannery will bring fantastic coaching experience to the Springboks.

The former Ireland hooker is to leave his current position at Harlequins later this month to take up a new role as Boks defence coach.

South Africa have also recruited the recently-retired international referee Jaco Peyper as their new National Laws Advisor.
