Junior Springbok boss Bafana Nhleko is reportedly set to assist Rassie Erasmus with coaching the SA XV side during the Springboks’ end-of-year tour.

According to an article in Sunday newspaper Rapport, Nhleko will work alongside SA’s director rugby and Bok assistant coach Mzwandile Stick.

The SA XV are scheduled to play midweek games against Bristol Bears and Munster in November, with the Boks in Test action against Ireland, France, Italy and England.

Nhleko coached the Junior Boks to an undefeated U20 Six Nations Summer Series triumph in July. Erasmus, meanwhile, had been banned from all match-day activity at all levels of the game since being punished by World Rugby.

However, his stadium ban came to an end on Friday, and he will be able to attend Bok Tests from 5 November – his 50th birthday – starting with the world champions’ clash against No 1-ranked Ireland in Dublin.
