South Africa’s director of rugby Rassie Erasmus believes there are no shortage of options to replace injured flyhalf Handre Pollard at the Rugby Championship in Australia. He was integral to the Boks’ World Cup win in Japan last year with his tactical kicking and ability to control the game from flyhalf. “In terms of a team man and someone who served the side, Elton (Jantjies) really stood out at the World Cup in the way he helped us prepare,” Erasmus told reporters. “Then there’s Damian Willemse, who has gone to a World Cup and who can do a job at 10 and 15 (fullback). “It needs to be sorted — today would be great, but we’ll accept tomorrow,” he told New Zealand media.
