Lions’ Ferreira joins Springboks

Defense coach and technical analyst at the Golden Lions Rugby Union, JP Ferreira, has been seconded to the Springbok management team for the end of year tour.

“We support SA Rugby’s decision to appoint JP for the end of year tour, as we believe that he can add value. He has been a stalwart for the union for the last nine years through some tough times,” commented Rudolf Straeuli, the CEO of the Golden Lions.

Ferreira will help out with the Springboks for four weeks and will return to the Lions afterwards for the Lions’ 2017 Super Rugby preparations.
