A new Springboks coach will be named Friday with Allister Coetzee expected to be tasked with making the team a formidable force again while radically altering its racial composition.

Former provincial scrum-half Coetzee made Western Stormers the dominant South African franchise in Super Rugby during six years in charge, reaching the knockout stage four times.

Coetzee was an assistant to coach Jake White when South Africa won the Rugby World Cup a second time in 2007.
