Former Springbok consultant Brendan Venter believes Saturday’s match between the Springboks and New Zealand will be a turning point in Bok coach Rassie Erasmus’s career.
Writing in a column for Stuff NZ, Venter says beating the All Blacks “should not be regarded as mission impossible”.
He adds: “Wellington could prove to be the turning point in his [Erasmus’] national coaching tenure”.
Erasmus has already warned that if his team doesn’t make the cut against the champs, it might be tickets for his job as coach of the national team.
