RASSIE IS THE BOMB

Du Toit on why Bok coach Erasmus is a genius of the game

- BY VOICE SPORTS TEAM

SPRINGBOK flank Pieter-Steph du Toit says his national coach Rassie Erasmus “understands the game” of rugby and that is why he is so successful.

Yes, many claim to know the oval ball and there are many who think they could do better from the comfort of their couches on a Saturday afternoon, but anyone with some sort of rugby brain will admit that Erasmus is special.

Du Toit is no different and tells SportsBoom in an exclusive interview: “Rassie understands the game. I wouldn’t say just being a forward... he played the game in the past. He understands what works and what doesn’t work.

“And of course, the way he looks at the game is completely different than anyone else looks at the game.
