Rassie Erasmus sheds light on Springboks’ preparations during lockdown

DIRECTOR of SA Rugby, Rassie Erasmus, told the media recently that the Springboks are working harder than ever despite the national lockdown, building on last year’s Rugby World Cup victory.

Erasmus posted his first podcast in a series on the SA Rugby site (www.SARugby.co.za), outlining what he and the team are doing behind the scenes, as well as reflecting on that memorable day on the six-month anniversary of the Springboks’ 32-12 World Cup final victory over England in Japan.

Apart from shedding light on the Boks’ planning for 2020, the roles of the Springbok coaches, plans across SA Rugby’s national teams and Elite Player Development programmes, Erasmus also lifts the lid on spending his lockdown time surrounded by women, and reveals the name of a former teammate he would love to have coached.

‘We are really working hard, and I want to guarantee our supporters as soon as the Springboks are back on the field, we will make you proud like we did last year,’ said Erasmus.

More podcasts are being planned for the coming weeks until the end of the local season, with news, interviews and more from the Springboks, Junior Boks, Blitzbokke, the national women’s teams and local competitions.
