Due to a pre-existing health condition, Rassie Erasmus, South Africa’s director of rugby, will continue to work remotely to minimise his risk during the pandemic and will therefore not be with Team Green during the build up to the Castle Lager Springbok Showdown, nor at the match on Saturday.
Erasmus was diagnosed in 2018 with a rare condition that causes inflammation of the blood vessels including in the throat and lungs, which increases vulnerability to the impact of a potential COVID-19 infection.
The condition is managed but until all risk is eliminated, Erasmus will continue to work remotely.
