Nick Mallett has made himself unavailable for the Springbok selection panel.
The former Bok coach, along with Brendan Venter, was earlier named as a possible candidate for the post.
However, Mallett does not want the position as he believes the only people who should be selecting the side are the coach, assistant coaches and the director of rugby.
‘I will probably not be available because of that, as well as limited time,’ Mallet told Rapport.
