Speculation has been rife about Meyer’s future following the Rugby World Cup.
Despite all the speculation, Meyer was adamant that he wanted to stay on as Bok coach.
But now Meyer has informed the South African Rugby Union of his intention not to have his contract renewed when it runs out on 31 December this year.
Meyer did an about turn after announcing after the Springbok’s 3rd place finish at this year’s Rugby World Cup that he wanted to carry on – “to make a difference” as he put it.
But the public outcry, some of the vitriol directed at him and his family and the comments made by various rugby personalities about his coaching caused him to rethink.
Sarus was due to meet later this month to decide Meyer’s future.
