About this ebook

Rassie Erasmus is al geniaal genoem. Hy is al roekeloos genoem. Nog sy hele lewe lank het hy dinge anders gedoen. Nou, op sy kenmerkend openhartige manier, gesels Rassie oor sy lewe vol hoogtepunte en laagtepunte.

Hy onthul hoe ontwrigtend dit was om saam met ’n alkoholis-pa groot te word en gesels oor sy kinderjare op die konserwatiewe dorpie Despatch. Hy kyk terug op ’n uitblinkerloopbaan as speler wie se ingebore rugbyinstink, vermoë om ’n wedstryd anders te lees en aptyt vir harde werk hom nog altyd onderskei het. Terwyl sy spanmaats ontspan het, het hy verkies om na ure se videomateriaal te kyk om wenstrategieë uit te werk. Toe hy die geleentheid gebied is om as Springbokkaptein vir sy land uit te draf, het hy dié eer van die hand gewys.

Rassie dink terug aan die tye toe hy ’n belangrike onderdeel van die ratwerk in Nick Mallett se rekordverpletterende Springbokspan van die laat 1990’s was. Hy herroep die pyn van die 1999-Wêreldbeker en die besering wat ’n einde aan sy loopbaan as speler beteken het.

Hy bespreek sy revolusionêre afrigtingstegnieke, wat aanvanklik afgelag en toe met ope arms aangegryp is, hoe hy die rugbystrukture by die Stormers die stryd aangesê het en die respek van die Ierse aanhangers by Munster verdien het.

Rassie gesels oor sy grootste bydrae tot Suid-Afrikaanse rugby, die aanstelling van die eerste swart kaptein, Siya Kolisi, sonder ’n groot ophef of omstredenheid, en hoe die onmiddellike sukses van sy onverskrokke planne vir die effektiewe rassetransformasie van die nasionale span gelei het tot die Rugbywêreldbeker-triomf in 2019.

Lesers sal hulle verkneukel aan die agter-die-skerms-inligting oor interaksies, omstredenheid en voorheen onvertelde verhale uit ’n waarlik grensverskuiwende lewe.

Rassie Erasmus

Rassie Erasmus is the Head Coach of the South African Rugby Union team and Director of Rugby, South Africa. Erasmus is well known for his outspoken opinions and tactical nous. Under his leadership, the Springboks won the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan, ending a 12-year championship drought. Erasmus has also had a successful coaching career at club level in both South Africa and Ireland. He was the head coach of Munster Rugby for several years, and during his tenure, the team reached two European Champions Cup finals. As a player, he was a leading flanker for South Africa as well as several club teams throughout his career, including Free State Cheetahs, Western Province, and Munster Rugby in Ireland. He retired from playing in 2010, and since then, he has dedicated himself to coaching. Rassie: Stories of Life and Rugby is his first book.
