Remember when Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus’ mother broke her leg and he sent her the cutest tweet ever? Here it is again.
Rassie sends love to his ma
The Springboks coach sent love and well wishes to his mother, who broke her leg back in June 2024. Fortunately, she’s not currently eligible for selection on his team!
The king of marginal gains and mind games
Rassie Erasmus is an expert in opposition analysis, psychological mind games and precise man-management. He has no issue getting under the skin of the Springboks’ adversaries, but more crucially, he’s a consummate professional on a human level, taking an interest in the lives of his players and their families. He makes everyone feel included, special and valuable. That is a gift. Always innovating and improving, the 52-year-old would love to do the unthinkable and guide South Africa to a three-peat of World Cup wins.
Rassie has transformed the Springboks
It’s crazy to observe how much value Rassie Erasmus adds either as a head coach or Head of Rugby. We all know about his infamous ability to get into opponents’ heads. It’s so legendary that the Springboks even made a song about it, to the tune of The Cranberries’ song “Zombie”, which they serenaded him with after their epic Rugby World Cup triumph on Saturday. It wasn’t always going to be this way, though. In September 2017, South Africa was mauled 57-0 by New Zealand on one of their darkest days. Just two years later, they pulverised England into submission with a scoreline of 32-12 in the World Cup final. This team was moulded in Rassie’s image, and they are a formidable group of human beings. The scale of this achievement can’t actually be put into words. What a team. This is before we revisit the heroics of 2023, which are still fresh in the minds of millions of South Africans.
