Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus has rugby fans tickled pink with content from his boozy boys’ weekend. The 53-year-old has posted clips of himself drinking and dancing with team personnel. The posts come less than two months ahead of their first match of 2026.
RASSIE ENJOYS BOOZY BOYS WEEKEND On his social media pages, Rassie Erasmus has been posting clips of the behind-the-scenes action involving Springboks staff. The Boks boss posts clips every Friday of support coaching staff like Mzwandile Stick, Deon Davids, Felix Jones and Andy Edwards letting loose during strat time. In his latest post, Rassie shared a clip of him enjoying a bottle of Klipdrift brandy.
As the clip progressed, and he became more inebriated, the Springboks coach began to unwind, shadowing off his infamous dance moves. “After a few hours…” he hilariously captioned the clip set to the Bongo Muffin soundtrack, Thathisigubhu.
