South Africa Rugby is under increasing pressure to take action against Rassie Erasmus after the Rugby Football Union lodged a complaint over his social media posts concerning the refereeing of Wayne Barnes, who has been the subject of death threats.
It is understood that the RFU wrote an angry letter to its South African counterparts this week, outlining how Barnes – who was taking charge of his 100th Test last Saturday in France’s narrow win over South Africa – has received online threats while his family has also been targeted.
