    Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus has posted a cryptic message on social media following speculation linking his assistant Tony Brown with a move to the All Blacks

    Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus has posted a cryptic message on social media following speculation linking his assistant Tony Brown with a move to the All Blacks


    The rumour mill's been in overdrive after Scott Robertson stood down as All Blacks coach two years into a four-year contract.

    Jamie Joseph has emerged as the front-runner to step in but - should he get the job - it's likely he'd want fellow former All Black Brown to join him.

    Brown is currently contracted to the Springboks through to the 2027 Rugby World Cup.

    However, Erasmus has seemingly shut the door on any move.

    The Boks coach has posted an A-I generated (AI) photo of Brown as the lead character in the The Wolf of Wall Street movie - and added Leonardo DiCaprio's famous "I'm not leaving" quote from the film.
