Outspoken Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus has taken to social media to address rumours of Tony Brown's links to the now vacant All Black coaching role.
Erasmus posted an AI-generated video of Brown, who is currently attack coach for the world champion Springboks, stating that "I'm not f...ing leaving".
The video replaced Brown's face and voice over the top of a scene from The Wolf Of Wall Street, in which Leonardo DiCaprio's character Jordan Belfort makes the statement during a passionate address to his employees.
Brown's name has immediately been brought up as a potential replacement for Scott Robertson, who was sensationally fired on Thursday after two seasons in charge of the All Blacks.
It's widely believed Brown would reunite with long time coaching partner Jamie Joseph to take over, as the side prepares for a full tour of South Africa in August/September.
However, Erasmus' post seems to have poured cold water on that notion.
Brown has been instrumental in the Springboks' recent dominance of world rugby, which included a record win over the All Blacks in Wellington last year.
