Also, scrum coach Daan Human and conditioning man Andy Edwards have been given extensions that will take them to the next World Cup.With these four men locked in for the next few years, there isn’t much room for anyone else to come into the actual coaching team. It now seems clear that one of Stick, Davids and Human will become the next head coach, in place of Jacques Nienaber, who will leave his job after the World Cup later this year for a role with Irish team Leinster.
And just about every head coach appointed to the Boks in the past has been allowed to pick his assistants.Of course, there would be room for a new man to come in from the outside to fill an assistant role, if Stick or Davids were promoted. But, to be honest, I can’t see anyone like Ackermann or Dobson taking on a Bok assistant role.
