More questions than answers as Rassie returns

Johannesburg - After a year making friends and influencing people in Ireland as the Munster head coach, former Springbok flanker Rassie Erasmus has come back to pretty much his old job at SA Rugby, as the organisation finally confirmed the worst-kept secret on Friday.
