Rassie Erasmus: The Genius Who Rewrote Springbok History

Loading player...
Former South Africa cricketer Paul Harris believes the international rugby coaches fear Springbok boss Rassie Erasmus. In his time in charge, Rassie has led the Springboks to Rugby World Cup success, the Rugby Championship, Freedom Cup, Mandela Plate and Qatar Airways on multiple occasions. Erasmus is also known for his innovations like the box kick strategy, Bomb Squad tactic and calling for a scrum off a mark. But Rassie is not everyone's cup of tea - especially the good people of England, Ireland and New Zealand. In this episode Peter breaks down Rassie's achievements and tries to uncover just how much the international rugby community fears him, as per Harris.
