South Africa rugby chief Rassie Erasmus has spoken out on the Elton Jantjies scandal that has hit the Springboks camp this week.
Outside-half Jantjies and dietician Zeenat Simjee were sent home from Argentina after reports of an alleged affair surfaced in the South African media. Although the pair have not broken team protocols, they were told to return to South Africa to avoid distraction around the squad ahead of the weekend match against the Pumas.
Now, Erasmus has taken to Twitter to hit out at a former player making light of the situation. Erasmus told former Springbok Rob Louw he should show respect to the families involved, citing "the suffering and damage to innocent children and parents" that has been inflicted because of the controversy.
