When Neill Armstrong took his first step on the moon he saw Rassie sitting on a rock smoking his cigar
When Alexander Bell invented the telephone he already had a missed call from Rassie
😂
Hahaha jirre 🤣
Rassie will never get a heart attack because his heart isn't stupid enough to attack him
😂
Lmfao
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Cocaine will catch up on him.
Rassie once heard nothing can kill him so he tracked down nothing and killed it
😂
Rassie is the Saffa Chuck Noris!
@@octopusflywhat do you get if you put Rassie and chuck norris in the same room....................... World order😂
@@octopusflyrassie is chuck Norris! Chuck Norris is Rassie. The two are one
Pep Guardiola of rugby.
The only time Rassie was ever wrong was when he thought he made a mistake.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
😂
When Rassie arrives late for press conference journalist have to apologize for being early
😂😂😂😂😂
Respect from England. Probably the best coach in world rugby right now.
As a Saffa, I gotta agree. However, to add some humility - during this World Cup and learning a lot about the other teams, I have to concede that player for player, we're probably fourth in the world. This coaching staff is truly special. Edit: and also the character of our players stands out, at least to me.
Not a chance are the Boks 4th in the world player for player. 1 or 2 for sure. Ireland are a team that are more than the sum of their parts, NZ have become that again recently. I think player for player France and SA are 1-2 itw. I think France edge it, but SA are close.
I'm from England so i have no bias towards any of the top 4 teams. But for me the difference between France, SA, NZ and Ireland is... France, SA and NZ have good players in every position and on the bench, they have good depth. Ireland have all their best players in the starting 15 and big portion of them are past their prime and this is their last world cup so they have to start fresh next world cup, there decline starts from this world cup. They have been highly carried by Bundee Aki too.@@MrPoepope And a side note, Rassie is a legend of the game.
@@MrPoepope That's fine, respect. I was basing my opinion on specific standout performances I saw in the big games, which I watched closely, but it can't be 100% the truth, having skipped some of the smaller games. But I'll stand by what I said. If you go man against man (the typical 15 starters, excluding the bench) with SA vs the other 3, I don't think SA ever get 8. However, 23 vs 23, I think we get 11 < every time.
@@gianlucacolatei5820 I donno, I think the only team where man for man SA don't have the better players in that first 15 is France. But it is very tight in those top 4 teams, they're in a different league. I also think SA are the team best in the world at forcing the opposition to play the style of game they want to play. It's so impressive.
Rassie is just a pure Genius of the Game,and South Africa are lucky to have him.Lets go our Southern hemisphere Brothers lets make a ABs vs S.A Final
Arg vs sa also southern hemisphere
As lang as it's nae England! 😂
@@stanleybuchan4610at least England are there 🏴
Rassie is the only man who can drop kick a bowling ball
😂
😂😂😂😂
Rassie Erasmus can whats app from a public phone
Gotta be one of the most loved South Africans out there
I hope and 🙏 he stays on even after the world cup..our legend hero coach of the decade
Lost in translation: No disrespect to England, calling them a speedbump/pothole. If you've ever been to SA, you'll understand that means a serious obstacle-that can wreck your whole vehicle!
Respect to the Boks from Ireland. Love watching them play.
When Rassie looks in the mirror he doesn't see a reflection because there's only one Rassie
This is the mind game master lmao eyes are FIRMLY planted on England, he even makes load-shedding disappear on weekends when Boks play!
Love it how rassie walks in chilled with the "Schoolboy Backpack" but the smile on his face and the words with confidence says it all.
Vs the Eddie Jones Experience....
This man will get a beer at any South African's home. Respect. The goat 🐐 in couching.
I hope with all my heart and passion for rugby that Rassie lifts The Rugby World Cup! (I'm a Northern Hemisphere rugby supporter).
WHY? He's a terrible influence on the game
@@joshuataylor3550😂
Every night the boogeyman looks under his bed to make sure Rassie isn't there
😂
Rassie once killed two stones with one bird
This had me burst out laughing. Best comment I’ve seen here 😂
Lmao what a plot twist lmfao
Legend has it the bird survived. Little birdy told me
@@rooibaard365 ofcourse he did,that bird killed many other stones aswell.
@@JINXRSAMobile 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't think it's sensational to suggest, that this man is an interpersonal genius. Rugby is just his modality
This may be one of the finer comments on the internet....
Agreed
Rassie doesn't sweat. He makes his skin cry
😂
😂
Rassie is a real enigm for world rugby long may thd mystique continue
Best of Luck to The Boks..from Munster and Ireland
Jump on the bandwagon 🥔😂😂
Rassie never flush the toilet. He simply scares the shit out of it
😂
😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao good one damn
😂😂😂😂
Nice to see someone give straight answers in an interview
He could never be a politician, but I would vote for him if he was...
When Rassie drinks wine, wine gets drunk.
What a great director of rugby
Rassie is the only man who can devide by zero
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao
😂😂😂
Best coach ever , very humble .
Very humble indeed
Russie is the consummate CEO. Busy, but not too busy to offer a smile, shake a hand. Nod to you in the corner. And knowledgeable about his craft. Yeah, I'm fanboying😂
You are. We are not judging. We are too 😂😂😂
He plays the game immaculately. Knows how to do all the dirty tricks but has the personality to turn people onto his side even if he’s in the wrong.
I won't trust the friendliness if I was an English rugby player 😂🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
I won't trust the friendliness if I was an English rugby player 😂🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
@@MrPoepope if you take the analogy that rugby is a basic analogy for war philosophy. Then Rassie is General in our army and knows what it takes to win without breaking the law.
Its something when i can remember him as a player 😂very respectful from Rassie to call Englands players by their first names or though he doesn't need to. Or is it just knowing your opponents really well. 😅
So nice what Rassie said about Siya. And he's right too.
Best comments ever pissing myself
They say Napoleon was the greatest strategist but he never managed to conquer Europe like Rassie
Rassie is one of our heroes. We absolutely 100% back him. Whatever he says or decides.
Ghost sit around camp fires telling each other Rassie stories
Utmost respect for Rassie and Jacques, they met in the Army years ago and they are still side by side, if that doesn't tell you something.....
Rassie once counted to infinity twice ✌️
Iron fist in a velvet glove. The best coach we have ever had. Appears meek and mild and lets the team do the talking on the field. Perhaps he read the art of war by Sun Tzu. "When you are weak act strong and hope that your enemy does not attack to test your strength. When strong act weak so that your enemy will attack". He is really a nice guy but the Springbok team knows who is boss and he never shows all of his cards.
He’s a fucking smooth criminal isn’t he? All handshakes and charming smiles 😊
Rassie once took a lie detector test and the machine confessed everything
😂
🤣
🤣🤣
😂😂😂
One time Chuck Norris walked into a bar and saw Rassie, he walked out again.
And Rassie was already waiting for him outside!
lol
Faf de Klerk can throw a ball over 30 metres. Rassie Erasmus can throw Faf even further.
Rassie looks like he ate Faf… jirre boet, fewer brandewyn and boerewors…
To be fair faf is lighter than the ball
@@omerdvir1709no. Gag is when u get to the ball..
Rassie is the most amazing entertainer. He is great value. From Rassie's facial expressions and posture, you can tell exactly what Rassie REALLY thinks and is saying in his head. Priceless stuff.
He is a cheat
Rassie is defnitly no cheat.!Hy is n rugby genie.
Rassie has a beautiful mind and a golden tongue, well said old boy
Flip he looks like a naughty kid that knows exactly where all the sweets are hidden.
Hell, always nice to listen to Russie.
When Rassie laughs You cry
From player to Coach to Director of Rugby South Africa 🇿🇦 he is the most Technical Coach in the world 🌎 as he has turned around the rugby 🏉 in South Africa 🇿🇦 from club to league and Springbok Game He is in Their Head England 🏴 Rugby Game plan
Very interesting to see a man with such knowledge share his ideas and perspective.
The answer to the first question had a level of detail few expected...
He's aware of his contribution to South African Rugby and the Rugby world at large, what a Gentleman.
Rassie was very diplomatic in handling the questions about the ref. The questioners need to have a mic put in their hands so we can hear them more clearly.
I would say that was a good interview from an England perspective.
English is his second language. Respect.
He's so smooth he could slide uphill!
The GOAT - no one has ever done it better
Steve Hanson ?
@@joshuawals6350Steve Hanson has objectively achieved much more than Rassie but he was also gifted with the team he had. Many people believe even a pretty average coach would’ve done great things with that AB side. They were just so stacked with giants of the game. Arguably the greatest side the rugby world has ever seen.
He is a cheat
@@joshuataylor3550😂
Master coach full of suprises. Brilliant!!
Only South Africans understand how dangerous speed bumps and potholes can be. But not this time.
He's in your head...."Rassie, Rassie, Rassie ey ey ey"
Only Rassie can scare Chuck Norris
Loving the Rassie Ibrahimovic comparisons ahah
Rassie is my Alex Ferguson.... greatest of all time
Alex Ferguson was a dick towards certain players. Rassie is a better human being
AF is and was full of spite. Not a good role model.
@mathsdebater He is still the most successful footbal manager in footbal history... his accolades speaks for it self...
@Smoke_C @mathsdebater you guys are probably Liverpool supporters right... anyway enjoy the rugby gents
Rassie such a gentleman he assists the opposition coach with team selection😂
Rassie should seriously consider joining parliament post 2024 election. We really need his wisdom❤
The comments here are something else 😂😂😂
LEGEND
Hes one hell of a coach thats for sure. He certainly gets the best from his team. SA are clear favorites of course. But we are there. So we have a chance. Who knows we might be due a stellar performance 😅 🌹
Rassie once stole the milk out of my coffee just to remind me of his cunning.
Rassie is not on Facebook... He has his own book dedicated to him
Got to respect. He is a top operator.
He's a Smooth Operator...
Ayyoooo. I just walk past a traffic light and l found out there was no lights there....l don't know but it wasn't me who took them out
yes i agree rassie, I hope we don't play with to much aggression as you guys will just absorb it, we have great players individually but you guys are a very well oiled team which is something England haven't got yet
Fun fact: at 9:43 rassie reads the team he things England will choose.. after the match i checked, he was 100% right on their team selection
We and the English always have BEEF hahaha - When ever the Boks face the English - it's our reminder of the BOER WAR ....
Eskom has to change their schedule when Rassie forgets his lights on
Rassie is on another level. He read out the comparison between the teams. SA are definitely better but a glaring omission was the gulf in coaching class. As an AB supporter and if we do meet in the final I trust we have enough collective Rugby brain power to match the Boks. I don’t think England do at all.
Rassie = Daddy Cool😂
Really wish the sound quality of the questions was better. Can never hear the questions....(not all of them!)
Legend💪🏻❤️🌞
I trust Rassie with my life✊🏿✊🏿
Rassie announcing the English squad 😂😂 let's see how they handle that!
"The temptations" 14:15 😂😂
About to be in his second world cup final and only 50 😅
Erasmus knows how to play the game. His use of the HIA rules are amazing. Rest your players.
That was gamesmanship, shameful
Go watch that match again man. 4 instances of head on head collisions by the French that were just swept under the carpet. That's what led to the hia. U all out here sucking French Cockerells like it's the sweetest taste u ever had
@@joshuataylor3550😂
Tbh PSDT was involved in a head clash on the wing and I was surprised the tmo didnt pick it up, should have been a yellow card at least.
Rassie can answer a missed call
Rassie killed two stones with one bird
Challenge: Can Mr Rassie please consider helping with Bafana Bafana I want to see something#!
Rassie looking like the friendliest wolverine
over the week I've been seeing lots of pundits predominantly uk raving on about France deserved to win? for me I don't understand that sense of entitlement, sure they playing the best rugby they've ever played but victory is never given but earned each and every single time. somehow anointed themselves all Northern hemisphere final without the hard yard. that's why the Webb Ellis cup is camping in the south
Englands second name is entitlement
@@pigslefatsfake news. Been nothing but respect build up to game.
Nah haven't seen it. Only French really whinging
@@Canvashed perhaps we've view different podcast and media streamlines but I'm without a doubt convinced on the sense of entitlement I've seen in the northern hemisphere. go watch GBR or maybe you're ignorance to such entitlement yourself
@@uSbusiso_ any examples?
When Chuck Norris played Rugby he changed his name to Rassie Erasmus.
Us saffas were raised by our parents to be polite, Respectful and kind. Weird how the press guy highlights this! Maybe the question of why other teams' captains arent??? Bad parenting!
Rassie can sometimes be a bit of an arsehole but everything he said there made complete sense and he wasn’t disrespectful at all
Rassie is our Chuck Norris🤷♂️🏈
Rassie has counted to infinity. Twice.
Rassie is the GOAT of rugby coaches, hansen a close 2nd
When Rassie was born his father declared him the the man of the house
Eskom is so scared of Rassie they suspend loadshedding when he wants to charge his phone
Mic issues again with some of the reporters..totally unacceptable..one would think they could get this right
You’re petty. Grow up man.
The mics are fine they just too afraid to be louder than Rassie 😂
@@citedcanvas85 😂😂😂
