Keeping Rassie the right move
The Citizen
|December 10, 2025
Having signed a new contract with SA Rugby that will see him in charge of the Springboks until the end of the 2031 World Cup, Rassie Erasmus will eventually end his career with the Boks after serving the national team as coach or director of rugby - for 14 years.
That is of course, if he doesn’t stay on board beyond 2031... because if he wins another World Cup in 2027 or four years later, why would everyone involved with the Boks not consider keeping him?
But, that’s something to ponder at another time.
Right now, the South African rugby-loving public, and SA Rugby themselves, should be pleased as punch that Erasmus is happy to stay in charge of the Boks until 2031. That’s some commitment and shows just how passionate Erasmus is to keep the Boks at the top of the game.
