The documentary Chasing the Sun has been released in South Africa and there’s clips going viral online of team talks etc .. One clip that is doing the rounds is a brilliant team talk of the Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus calling out the Springbok captain Siya Kolisi
See it below with some of the comments underneath ..
Be proud to play for the Springboks. Siya is not the biggest thing in South Africa, South Africa is the biggest thing in South Africa. You sing all these songs but you you are false, you pretend.
Rassie shuld blame management for that loss. Can’t go into a game like that with an erratic goal kicker where margins r razor thin.Why’s he swearing down the team. They gave their all in that game. 8 points were lost not from lack of effort, but missed kicks.
Without this uit kak …we wouldn’t of won world cup .. he knew what to do to get best out of his players …He called Siya out cos he knew the players would rally behind there leader….why u think these boys could dig so deep in 3 one point wins?
The Springbok players are trapped with this coach. He’s not good for the Springboks, South Africa, rugby. This about rugby, not life and death. Rugby, not Ukraine or Gaza. I bet the players would prefer a new coach.
