Jacques Nienaber Biography

Jacques Nienaber is one of the most popular and richest Athlete who was born on October 16, 1972 in Bloemfontein, Bloemfontein, ****. Jacques Nienaber, born (1972-10-16 ) 16 October 1972, is a South African rugby union coach, currently the Head Coach of South Africa.

Nienaber moved to Cape Town to join Erasmus’ staff when he was appointed Director of Rugby at Super Rugby franchise the Stormers and Currie Cup side Western Province prior to the 2008 season, moving into a role as a defence coach.

He returned to domestic coaching with the Stormers and Western Province for 2012, as both teams again had the best defensive records in their respective competitions, with the Stormers reaching the semi-finals of the Super Rugby competition, while Nienaber tasted his first success with Western Province, as the team won the 2012 Currie Cup.

The Stormers missed out on the 2013 Super Rugby play-offs despite having the best defensive record, while Western Province reached the 2013 Currie Cup final, which they lost to the Sharks. The Stormers endured a very poor season in 2014, finishing 11th, but Western Province won the 2014 Currie Cup final, their second during Nienaber’s time at the team. At the end of 2014, they agreed to release him from his contract to join the SARU coaching staff on a full-time basis.

After missing out on the play-offs in 2008 and 2009, an improvement in defence – which saw Western Province end the 2009 Currie Cup season with the fewest points conceded – also led to an improvement of the Stormers’ fortunes. In 2010, the team finished second after the regular season, having conceded just 171 points in 13 matches, 117 points less than the Waratahs, who had the second-best defence. The team made is all the way to the final, where they lost to fellow South African side the Bulls and Western Province achieved the same feat domestically, before losing to the Sharks in the 2010 Currie Cup final. Nienaber’s record as a defence coach was noted by the South African national team, and was approached to join their staff, but the move was blocked by his existing employers.

He was born and grew up in Bloemfontein, where he attended Grey College and the University of the Free State. He is a qualified physiotherapist and worked for the Bloemfontein-based provincial rugby union team, the Free State Cheetahs, in that capacity since 1997. When the Free State Cheetahs were formally included as part of the Cats Super 12 franchise for the 1998 season, Nienaber also held the same role for them.

In 2004, he also took over the role of Strength and Conditioning Coach at the Free State Cheetahs. He remained in that role when former South African national team flanker Rassie Erasmus took over as head coach in 2005, in a season that saw the team win the domestic Currie Cup trophy for only the second time in their history. The expansion of the Super 12 to 14 teams for the 2006 season saw the Cats effectively split into the Lions and Cheetahs franchises and Nienaber was appointed the Strength and Conditioning Coach of the new Cheetahs franchise, where he again worked under head coach Erasmus. They helped the Cheetahs to a 10th and 11th-placed finish in 2006 and 2007 respectively, and also won the Currie Cup again with the Free State Cheetahs, sharing the title with the Blue Bulls in 2006.

The Stormers again reached the play-offs in 2011 with the second best defensive record, and Western Province had the best defensive record in the 2011 Currie Cup. He was once again approached by the national team, and he was included in their coaching staff for the 2011 Rugby World Cup. South Africa had the best defensive record in the pool stage before losing 9–11 to Australia in the quarter finals.
