Rassie Erasmus is no stranger to doing things his way.
Known for his bold coaching style and unique approach, he has played a huge role in returning the Springboks to the top of the rugby world.
His ability to think outside the box, combined with his knack for stirring things up, has made him one of the most talked-about figures in the sport.
Rassie’s Social Media Experiment
What makes Erasmus stand out even more is his willingness to engage with fans on social media.
While many top coaches steer clear of the spotlight outside of matches, Erasmus regularly shares insights through his social media platforms.
Though his online presence has sometimes landed him in trouble, with some posts even earning sanctions from World Rugby, he has remained unapologetic.
For Erasmus, social media serves a bigger purpose than just promoting the game.
He aims to give Springbok supporters an inside look into the team’s world, letting them feel connected and involved.
It’s also a way for fans to see more of his life outside of coaching, offering a rare glimpse behind the scenes.
Erasmus Launches a YouTube Channel for Rugby Fans
In a move that will surely excite rugby fans, Erasmus has taken his engagement to the next level by launching a YouTube channel.
While the channel is still in its early stages, Erasmus is already posting content that includes both current and past rugby games.
He mentioned that the focus will be on nostalgia and having fun, while also encouraging fan interaction and comments.
Currently, there are seven videos live on the channel, and they are sure to resonate with diehard rugby enthusiasts who enjoy revisiting classic matches or learning more about the sport.
Looking Ahead to the 2025 Springbok Season
While Erasmus has been engaging with fans off the field, his focus will soon shift back to the Springboks and their on-field goals.
The team is already gearing up for the 2025 season, with a strategic coaching session already completed.
Following that, 56 domestic players are set to gather in Cape Town for the first national camp of the year.
Details of the Alignment Camp
The alignment camp, scheduled to conclude by March 12, will involve two gym sessions and multiple boardroom meetings to get the players aligned with the team’s expectations for the upcoming season.
The camp is a vital step for the Springboks as they prepare to face new challenges in the year ahead.
Who’s Joining the Camp?
The alignment camp will feature an exciting mix of players from across South Africa’s major rugby teams.
The list includes forwards like Siya Kolisi, Eben Etzebeth, and Ox Nche, as well as backs like Makazole Mapimpi, Damian Willemse, and Lukhanyo Am.
