Springboks Coach Rassie Erasmus Throws an Epic Reunion Party

“Last day ‘Da Boys 35-year reunion,’” Rassie captioned his Instagram video. The footage showed pure joy. Beers clinked. Laughter roared. The boys danced like time had frozen. These weren’t just friends—they were brothers in arms. They’ve known each other for over three decades. That bond doesn’t fade. In fact, it grows stronger with time.

The group shared stories from the past. They toasted to memories, love, and loyalty. Rassie was right in the center, grinning wide. His friends kept the mood high, and the energy never dropped. There were hugs, jokes, and unstoppable laughter.

Rassie’s longtime friendships speak volumes. Through rugby’s highs and lows, they’ve stood by him. That support system is priceless. These men know the real Rassie—the man behind the whistle. With them, he’s not the coach. He’s just one of the boys again.

For Erasmus, this wasn’t just a party. It was a reminder. A reminder of where he came from. Of loyalty, connection, and genuine joy. It’s clear that his strong base of friends is his true foundation. And when that foundation is strong, anything is possible—even winning back-to-back World Cups.
