The Springboks are undergoing changes in their coaching staff, with Jerry Flannery, a former Munster and Ireland hooker, appointed as the defense coach. This move has led to speculation about the team's potential to achieve an unprecedented three-peat of Rugby World Cup titles. Flannery's departure from Harlequins has prompted the team to consider Kevin Sinfield as a replacement. The coaching setup will now include some Kiwi and Irish influence, as well as the return of double world champion RG Snyman to full training with Munster, which is expected to benefit both Munster and the Springboks. Additionally, efforts to increase girls' participation in rugby and promote more female coaches and referees have been a focus in recent discussions within South Africa Rugby.
