One thing I have learnt from Rassie is that all of us as South African, black, white colored you name it, we've got a lot of unlearning to do. We need to be honest enough to identify that some of the things we were thought growing up by our different communities are not so true. We need to be bold enough to look past the stereotypes or the perceptions we have about other races and see things for simply what they are. At the end of the day if I jugde people of a certain race based on what I've been told, I don't even think I deserve to be called a man because a real man makes his own decisions independently not based on what the majority or the group is saying. That is exactly what Rassie did, he choose to give the players of color an opportunity to prove themselves so that he can base his judgment of them on facts. That's all we ask for, nothing much.

The gwijo on the background alone sums up everything for me. I was playing for Winter Rose under 15 when Makazole first joined Winter Rose club, it was in 2009. The man was a beast in the weight room and on the field, as a result he only played few games for under 21 that year and went straight into the first team. Everyone was raving about him and he was only 19 years old at the time. He is the most humble guy I have ever met. Seeing him on that trophy bus tour in Cape Town just brought tears in my eyes because I have seen the grind and his humble beginnings. I am sure ooMr. Koshe notata uNompilo are happy with the man you've become mntaks. You'll go down as one of the greats in my history books. I don't even wanna talk about Rassie, South Africa needed Rassie more than we need a President. He knows South Africa to the core, and no other coach would have done what he has done for South Africa. We appreciate and love everything about you Rassie.

I’m English and I was moved to tears. As painful as it was to lose that final, you have to applaud what a wonderful team they are and I have always admired Rassie as a coach and as a person. As for Makazole Mapimpi, his story shows that anyone can come from anywhere, and do anything, and do it all with great class. I’m very pleased for him. I can’t think of anyone else who deserved to win the World Cup more than him.

A Makazole Mapimpi movie and autobiography is much need to capture the greatness of this humble and sincere man who never gave up despite his poverty and pain of losing his mom,sister and brother. I think it was fitting that Kuanda(Rip) and Rassie used this moment to express who Makazole was as a player and individual and the hardship he faced to be where he is today. It was His God-given Destiny for him to overcome all his pain and challenges to score in this final . I have been following his career since 2016 and to see him score in the final was overwhelming. I'm glad this scene managed to show everyone the significance of him scoring in this finall and how he never gave up despite his circumstances. May his life teach us that it doesn't matter what our circumstances are ,if we work hard and believe in our destiny we will overcome eventually.In tears everytime I watch this...

But when you watch this and you realise where South African players come from and South Africa as a country, what it's been through and how tough it is, it's hard to wonder if you can actually beat them........ As when you play with the spirit of a nation, that was physically broken and you come together as one, play with that combined spirit, it's literally an unbreakable spirit. They have been so low in their early life, nothing you can do on the pitch will break that spirit. It's sad, frustrating and magical, all at the same time!

150% gospel there my brother
One thing I have learnt from Rassie is that all of us as South African, black, white colored you name it, we've got a lot of unlearning to do. We need to be honest enough to identify that some of the things we were thought growing up by our different communities are not so true. We need to be bold enough to look past the stereotypes or the perceptions we have about other races and see things for simply what they are. At the end of the day if I jugde people of a certain race based on what I've been told, I don't even think I deserve to be called a man because a real man makes his own decisions independently not based on what the majority or the group is saying. That is exactly what Rassie did, he choose to give the players of color an opportunity to prove themselves so that he can base his judgment of them on facts. That's all we ask for, nothing much.

So true. Us kiwis have a lot of respect for the Springboks and although they are our biggests Rugby rival, we wanted them to beat the arrogant English.

The gwijo on the background alone sums up everything for me. I was playing for Winter Rose under 15 when Makazole first joined Winter Rose club, it was in 2009. The man was a beast in the weight room and on the field, as a result he only played few games for under 21 that year and went straight into the first team. Everyone was raving about him and he was only 19 years old at the time. He is the most humble guy I have ever met. Seeing him on that trophy bus tour in Cape Town just brought tears in my eyes because I have seen the grind and his humble beginnings. I am sure ooMr. Koshe notata uNompilo are happy with the man you've become mntaks. You'll go down as one of the greats in my history books.

your loss was pathetic. you lost the worldcup of a sport, which you created, to a 3rd world country 🤣🤣
Each and every Springbok in that 2019 team had a story : Siya Kolisi was born into poverty and his mother died when he was very young, Malcolm Marx 's mother raised him on her own, Duan Vermulan's father died of cancer when he was just eight years old, Makazola Mapimpi was born into poverty and most of ( maybe even all) of his family members are dead ( Some of them even murderd ) . In conclusion we South Africans live hard lives but we are made stronger for it.
What you just said there is all correct we are made stronger
Every human has their story
I love all of you ❤️

Not necessary: they are a millions of rugby fans in southafrica that have looked upon rassie. They are the ones that can change the future of southafrica with the system of him, it a matter of time when they will exist one day.
Yes, him and Thuli Madonsela
@@l9ino170 And for our country Mascot we need Uncle Trevor Nykane!!!
@@l9ino170 IMAGINE the miracles that would come out of that combination
Now more than ever, just had to come back to this video for some comfort in our chaotic week
Respect - from an All Blacks fan.
ok, somehow I'm ok with the Springboks being world Champs now... damn, who's cutting onions 🥺🥺
My thoughts exactly
Onions everywhere
🤣
When you think of how physically tough this man is, and then you see him reduced to tears it just shows that inside us all is a spirit that wants to connect to and be with other beings in a very deep way. Tremendous respect for what Rassie and all his team have achieved together. It is one of the great stories to come from South Africa, amongst all of the very real problems that beautiful country has.
I don't think I've read a more genuine and resonant comment on YT before. Striking for it's simplicity, beautiful for it's sentiment. Pure class, from someone I can only assume is not South African.
I've seen this clip twice a year, every year since it came out. I still smile through tears at the extraordinary love, respect and empathy Rassie has for his players. It is a beautifull thing to see and I get too be here to witness it
The story of mapimpi gives me hope that I can also do it and I can also lift the Webb Ellis trophy 🏆
you do it one day my brother believe in you grettings frome Switzerland
Of course you can - just work hard like him.
if you beat the all blacks then hell yeah. just gotta get past them, then it's a guarantee youll hold it
@@toiletsmithy3630 ddnt we lose to the all blacks yet won the world cup?
@@nkosibless2253 Cough cough...Nobody saw that:}
Proud Kiwi here. I was rooting for South Africa all the way as soon as we were knocked out. Nothing but Love, Respect and Admiration for my Southern Hemisphere and South African brothers! ❤️ And this story only reaffirms that.
O South Africa...we shall rise and live in harmony. Mapimpi, I now have a photo of you with me. I shall call you my brother. Thank you Rassie!
most can not see - through the mist of now, but you right...South Africa, you do not realise just how blessed we are....we will live united in our diversity .... and rugby, thank you!
Seen this a few times. Tears every time. Viva Mapimps, viva Rassie, viva Springboks. ❤️
Viva
As an Englishman, this is beautiful. This is more than a game.
Im a brit and this story makes me want to cry.
I cut serious onions here, am watching over and over and the tears don't stop. So many stories in SA about how rugby rescued others from desuetude situations. I will always love this sport.
I feel you brother
Rassie is the man. I respect him so much. South africa loves and salute you man
To anyone out there who believe men are toxic, I present to you a real man in Rassie Erasmus. Real men feel the way Rassie do about the people in their lives. They are strong, yet gentle. Weak men break and judge and destroy and hate. They can't help themselves.
this is beautifully said mate!
Best comment by far
The great Rasie Erasmus... My hero... National Hero...
Wow, I didn't know that. Lovely words from Rassie.
Damn...i cried watching this...not only because I am a huge fan of Mapimpi but hearing this...
@JM any way to get hold of this documentary in England? Can’t find it anywhere
The whole country cried in that moment I can tell you that.
I love my country and all the cultures and races here. This is a clear example that racism is a commodity required by the politicians to operate.
what a brilliant comment👏👏👏
Much respect from NZ 🇳🇿🇿🇦✊🏼👍🏼🏆🥇🏅
So emotional the guy with the big heart thank you mapimpi for making the whole country proud 🙏
To those who gave a thumbs down to this Raw Emotional video. I truly think you need to look deep inside your soul...because there is definitely something you missing inside of you.
Some may have disliked because it’s copyrighted. I think most people are good :)
So touching from your fijian brothers 😭😭😭😭
Respect and greetings from Cape Town.
Respect bro
He paid attention to his players beyond the field, hence he could pick up such and find it touching. What a coach.... just what the country needs!!!
Imagine if every South African regardless of race had this much compassion for one another. Man it would be the best country on the planet
I’m absolutely broken after watching this😢 - I feel for the man, our Makazole! My heart breaks for you😢😢
I’m a proud Welshman this is so sad and to see a big guy like Rassie Erasmus cry 😢 very touching
When South Africans are 'underdogs' or have their backs against the wall in any situation, they produce truly remarkable things 👏🏼🤙🏼🤙🏽🤙🏾🤙🏿🇿🇦
I too was born in New Zealand, but have always preferred Springbok Rugby . It is raw and primal unaffected and simple. And it’s only got better.
I think in some ways the rawness of our rugby comes from the rawness of SA as a place. when people fight for something here, they put everything on the line. for better / and for worse. That said, NZ's great history of different cultures blending is a fascinating story and makes for beautiful watching on the field - im so we're staying in the rugby championship!
Rassie is ... everything that inspires me about coaching. Everything he feels for his players, inspires in his players, demands from his players. Rassie and Siya: a truly legendary coach-captain combination.
We still miss you in munster Rassie but are delighted for your success
24 year old munster fan born and bred and that brought me to tears absolutely something you can’t teach or fathom
I’m English and I was moved to tears. As painful as it was to lose that final, you have to applaud what a wonderful team they are and I have always admired Rassie as a coach and as a person. As for Makazole Mapimpi, his story shows that anyone can come from anywhere, and do anything, and do it all with great class. I’m very pleased for him. I can’t think of anyone else who deserved to win the World Cup more than him.
Thank you sir. I found myself going back to this video ever so often to realise we as a country have a long way to go but we are united. I yearn for the day our nation unites even if the boks win or lose.i will die a patriot regardless❤
Im a french and kiwi fan but got to admit i love my fellow Springboks brothers ! Rassie was in my opinion a great coach
Here after the 2023 RWC final. Still tears me up as if I’ve never watched this. What a coach. What a team. What a country. South Africa I love you all. 🇿🇦❤️🏆
We need more man like this … Caring / loving not scared to show their emotions… this world will be a better place…
This is too emotional.. Seeing a coach crying bcz he feels the pain... Nevertheless we as south Africans are extremely proud of him... He might not have blood family bt you guys as springboks team you've got his back and also us fans..God almighty is his pillar of strength...hes blessed already🙏🙏🙏
I'm a Scotsman and I'd never heard about this until now. I cried too. Makazole has a giant strength within him. God bless.
I am a 🇰🇪but fell in love with 🇿🇦. Their history ,culture and people . I love everything about this country.despite the hard situations being faced by 🇿🇦s; Gender Based Violence, White Farmers Killings, Racism, political instability and Unfair distribution of resources . Right now all that 🇿🇦s need is to Sound the call to come together And united the shall stand.#strongertogether.
French fan here.... often, when I see a game with the springboks...I ask myself: why are they so strong, so hard to hurt? It's evident . Their life... nobody is able to break you, with this kind of life. 😢
Life in South Africa is very hard, and even harder on most of my people. You develop tough skin and an unbreakable forehead living here. You have no other choice but to.
Chasing the sun was an absolutely great series. Cried watching every episode. Springbok is in my blood
where can i wath it ?
Good morning how how very very sad aim now 76 years of age but when this young come on to tv I look at him with tears in my eyes and said this man is a winnner And mr Erasmus what A strong man you are to acknowledge such strong ness in him May he walk always in the light of his career And May it go well with him
I'm an All Blacks fan. I LOVE THIS MAN from the time that he was a player to become the GREATEST COACH OF ALL TIME !!!! 🇺🇸🤙🏽
greatest coach of all time? oh stop it
@@toiletsmithy3630 Im a kiwi, name a better one? This man took over a pretty disorganised outfit 18 months out from the World Cup and literally sandbagged everyone.
"Into ezihlwahlwazayo madoda" 😢 this man changed commentary. May his soul rest in peace.
Thats pulls at the heart strings😢. Feel for the bro, and i call Makazole Mapimpi my bro because from this day foward you are more than welcome to be part of our whanau/family. With love cuzzy from your new family in Aotearoa New Zealand. 🇳🇿🇿🇦🤝🏉
Rassie, what a man! in the space of 18 months, he took us from being the whipping boys of world rugby, to being Champions.
They miss this oke big time here in Ireland as he was the coach for Munster rugby club which also became champions
A Makazole Mapimpi movie and autobiography is much need to capture the greatness of this humble and sincere man who never gave up despite his poverty and pain of losing his mom,sister and brother. I think it was fitting that Kuanda(Rip) and Rassie used this moment to express who Makazole was as a player and individual and the hardship he faced to be where he is today. It was His God-given Destiny for him to overcome all his pain and challenges to score in this final . I have been following his career since 2016 and to see him score in the final was overwhelming. I'm glad this scene managed to show everyone the significance of him scoring in this finall and how he never gave up despite his circumstances. May his life teach us that it doesn't matter what our circumstances are ,if we work hard and believe in our destiny we will overcome eventually.In tears everytime I watch this...
How about an Invictus sequel with Mapimpi as the main character?
I agree...but its must be home made..by South Africans ..not Hollywood...people that understand our country..what divides us...what unites us..bring home the trophy boys...the nation is behind you!!!Mapimpi for president!
Rest in peace Kaunda. I always cry when I hear of Makazole's story. Oh Rassie😭
Wow I have a new respect for Rassie after this video man. I'm crying like a baby. God bless Mapimpi and God bless Rassie and all South Africans...
Me too. Watched the clip 15 times and cried like a baby each time
Yoh! I’m not even a huge rugby fan and it also made me cry.
This is what you get when race is put aside and human beings respects one another and acknowledge them for whom they are. Respect Rassie and even greater respect Makazole! Both Legends! I am a proud South African because of guys like you two.
Rassie Erasmus you’re a legend! No wonder you became so successful in your coaching..you’re a great awesome player, great coach and a respected human being for caring for your players and all South Africans. You will be forever blessed Rassie. All way from Perth, Western Australia.
Rassie, what you, your staff and every player in the squad gave us (South Africans) is immeasurable. To hear the individual stories like this is so humbling…. many of us are crying with you…. but it is important for all South Africans to hear these stories because it gives us a greater appreciation for who these young men really are, how big the mountains are they climbed and how truly amazing their achievement is. We the many, owe so much to you the few. Again… Thank You All So Much.
Great words, bro.
Rassie comes across like an absoloute solid gold lad.
Very proud to have had Rassie as coach of my province, Munster.
I tear up EVERYTIME I watch this.
This just made me look at my life I thought was hard and inspired me to shut the fuck up and have no excuses and fkn succeed!!
Rassie Rassie how you came to notice, you're spirit lead sir ,I salute you God appointed you for that job
I'm Irish.... We didn't do so well in the world cup as you may know. Watching the bocks do so well during this world cup, and beating the best looking team of the tournament in extraordinary fashion was amazing to watch! Thank you! And to those heartless people who disliked the video I'm just lost for words.
Rassie was in Ireland just under 3 years before he decided to take the job as coach of the Springboks. He was set to settle down with Munster and make his living there. It must take incredible courage to make the decision to leave what was going well for him and his family and take over what was possibly the most inconsistent SA team in modern rugby.
@@rugbyshorts and as South Africans we can definitely give credit to the systems there for helping our players and coaches get better, never minding the passionate fan base over there that gives the game so much. Many of our players and coaches have returned so much better after doing time in Ireland and other parts of the UK. Can't wait for Lions 2021!
I always enjoyed watching the Irish play..you guys have heart. Greetings from Cape Town.
Thank you for awarding us "best looking". You know Mako Vunipola plays for us....?
@@aleccastro4761 Did you say "Ireland and other parts of the UK"? Big no no Ireland is not in the UK 😂 Much love to South Africa great nation great friends ♥️
this bra grew up in the EC, where I did. What a champ! Everybody hurts, everybody.. some more then others..
I’ve watched this video 1000 times and I’ve cried 1000 times
I'm so happy for mapimpi... I jus wish Dyanti was part of this😭
Yeah... Youngster doing stupid things or getting stupid advice or maybe just terrible bad luck, I'll never know. His talent is genuine, hope he bounces back!
2023
Rassie is such a great leader and his sincerity is just incredible, he is just so far beyond issues like race. He single-handedly dismantled the whole black players quota narrative. Who can forget the 2 springbok cakes baked on the springboks birthday one with normal green and gold colour and the other written quotas. He just taught us so many life lesson as a nation and I would like to make him president of the nation.
I can just imagine how great our country will be if we could all work together, towards one common goal, with great leaders to inspire us all. I hope one day we all do not look at each other not as a black or white person, but as brother and sister. I hope that day happens soon.
@@willembooyens9391 I honestly think we mostly do see each other as brothers and sisters - it's just that when 1 person speaks with hatred it sounds so much louder than everything else, and it can make us all doubt ourselves
Well articulated Khule. As a country we need to learn and appreciate that our diversity is our strength. Our politicians need to learn from the Springboks. #StrongerTogether. We also need to LIVE Mandela's ETHOS of Reconciliation and treating each other as Brothers and Sisters, instead of being hateful and contemptuous. Rassie is LIVING Mandela's ETHOS. The class of 2019 Springbok should be given Presidential Honours.
Khule I can't agree more. That narrative was getting old. May we never go back to that.
Man that got a tear out of me,erasmus shows true emotion😢
From a all black fan wow this is heart broken I'm now so clad use won the world cup. Much Respect to the coach and Makazole Mapimpi I'm a fan now sir.
Rassie, a white man I, in my mind is the greatest story of transformation is SA sport, I think he believes in it more than even most black people. I was one of those people who had lost hope, given the amount of excuses we have been fed through the years. The man is special ✊🙏
His family is his team, his coach, his country. From a kiwi i say #respect 👊
Great coaches help players channel their inner beast mode through motivational speeches.. Rassie is one of them.
What a thoroughly deserved win for team and country.... from an english man, who had the privilege of living in s.a for 7 years. What an amazing country.
this still hits hard no matter how many times i have watched it. Rassie is a special human being, he was not an ordinary coach.
Mapimpi is loved bro if he was here I would shake his hand and give him a hug his a absolute legend
As an England fan, I hate them on the pitch....... But when you watch this and you realise where South African players come from and South Africa as a country, what it's been through and how tough it is, it's hard to wonder if you can actually beat them........ As when you play with the spirit of a nation, that was physically broken and you come together as one, play with that combined spirit, it's literally an unbreakable spirit. They have been so low in their early life, nothing you can do on the pitch will break that spirit. It's sad, frustrating and magical, all at the same time!
Beautifully said💪 Felt the same way when I watched Chris Robshaw interview. What an absolute gentleman with alot of class. Changes your perspective on players and teams🙏
I have never cried in a comment ever because there's so much truth in your comment.... I always say that one can never beat a united spirit, NEVER...and that's what they demonstrated. Thank you
