SARugbymag.co.za readers have had their say and want Rassie Erasmus to stop taking aim at match officials on social media, as his actions are harming the Springboks.
Erasmus has indicated that his posts were not going to stop any time soon but in a poll run after he defended his recent tweets, 57% decided that the World Cup-winning coach must quit his antagonistic behaviour.
