Carli Erasmus – the daughter of Springbok coach Rassie – has been making a big impact on the netball scene for some time, having worked her way through the Western Cape provincial ranks.

Now participating in the new season of the Telkom Netball League, Carli has been playing for the Western Province Tornados in Division 2, and the 20-year-old continues to impress with her genetic sporting talent.

This past weekend, Rassie watched on from the stands in support of his daughter, and highlighted how he was once again such a proud father.

“I just love the fact that this is a team sport and she’s got teammates,” Rassie commented. “It’s the understanding of how to play in a team.

“Although I don’t know all the rules that well, it’s just exciting to watch. She is also a coach (at Stellenberg High School), and I’m very proud of her.”

Rassie has become one of the most popular Springbok coaches of all time, and last in an interview with YOU magazine, his twin daughters Carli and Nikki admitted it was something special to see what he has achieved.

“He’s truly a hero – there are even people who think he should be president,” Carli commented, while Nikki added: “I’m not going to lie – we’re very proud of him. He’s really achieved something no one else could.

“He’s always been a bit of a joker, I think he’s good at reminding people he’s just human. He can be funny and make mistakes.”

Meanwhile, Nikki is currently dating Stormers and Springbok forward Andre-Hugo Venter, which also received the firm approval of her twin sister.

“The great thing about the two of them is they’re really good to other people,” Carli stated. “They genuinely want everyone to feel included in everything.”
