Rassie Erasmus could return to South Africa before the Springboks' three-Test series against France in June.
According to Rapport newspaper, negotiations between SA Rugby and Munster to bring him back to SA are at an advanced stage. Three impeccable sources told Rapport that his return is now 'a mere formality'.
Erasmus will take up his previous post as SA Rugby's director of rugby.
He joined Munster as their director of rugby in April last year after reportedly falling out with then-Saru president Oregan Hoskins, and shortly after the appointment of Allister Coetzee as Bok coach.
