PARIS (AP) — South Africa scrumhalf Cobus Reinach is “in a good space” after receiving a death threat on social media during the Rugby World Cup, assistant coach Mzwandile Stick said on Friday.
The threat — highlighted by Springboks director of rugby Rassie Erasmus on X, formerly known as Twitter — came after the team’s win in the quarterfinals against host nation France, where Reinach plays his club rugby with Montpellier. It was followed by a picture of Reinach’s son, who was also threatened.
