When Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus lost his temper

A rare video shocked fans as it showed Rassie Erasmus losing his cool at the Rugby World Cup 2023. Boks Rugby shared it, captioned, “Not somebody you want to mess with 😳.” After a disappointing performance, Rassie stormed into the dressing room.

His voice thundered as he reminded the players of their duty. Passionately, he told them Siya Kolisi isn’t the biggest thing in South Africa. Instead, he stressed, South Africa itself is the biggest thing. His words cut deep, pushing players to remember who they truly represent.

The moment revealed a side rarely seen by fans. Rassie’s anger wasn’t personal but rooted in pride and fierce love for his country. His message? Individual glory means nothing compared to national honour. The video spread quickly, sparking debate but mostly admiration.
