Great to hear your voice again David. Remember you so well on SABC radio & tv. I always respected your frank open reporting on our beloved game, with passion. Always wondered what happened to you post those day and happy to see you up and about and sharing once again with passion. Blessings.
@@ElethuDuna That is true, And he is but it's our politics that concerns me. He has managed to keep that out of the picture while maintaining a balance, that takes an innovative mind and a strong personality, not sure if there's an incumbent to take that over.
Rassie is the key for the Boks to win another title because he knows that innovation is the element of surprise. The downside is that it takes too long for the Boks players to buy into Rassie's ideas. Imagine if the All Blacks was coached by Rassie, we will be unstoppable. I also believe that it is the Boks DNA to be innovative. I remember it was the Boks who started the lift at Line-out set piece, the Bomb Swat and now the traffic lights hehe And I know there are a lot of innovations of the game Boks have done. The All Blacks only 100 years innovation is having the forwards play like the backs. The next AB coach is similar to Rassie I think. So I can't wait for the change next year. So far, the innovative coaches at this world cup are from France, Ireland, OZ and the Boks.
Why would it take long for the Boks to buy into his methods when they all say that they buy into team culture very easily? Get your facts straight mate.
Luvvitt!! Always enjoy hearing 'the story behind the story' ... I can't wait to now read the book on Rassie ...thank you David for sharing your deeper insights ❤
I bought the audio version of RASSIE as soon as it came out . ITS FANTASTIC great book it gives you many insights into RASSIE aswell aqs rugby coaching . Thanks guys its great
I did enjoy this book interview by author David O'Sullivan. I have yet to buy the book and I will read it as a christmas treat. Rassie, what can I say, I am nothing compared to him. He has brought delight and sun into my life, I have been astounded by his innovation and strategy and sometimes I just laugh at aloud. Many other top coaches refuse to accept and follow some of his ideas because of their egos maybe. Like it is a 23 person game, I agree with this masterstroke, absolutely true in so many ways (too many to highlight). SOme say it is illegal. So dumb and small minded. Some still sub players on at 75 minutes, some still have players not used, so draconian. I don't want to run down others, it is more I am highlighting Rassie and his coaching team. Calling a scrum from a mark, pure genius. Picking one main halfback in a RWC final genius. Standing on halfway line at warmups, talking to media, talking about refs (mistakes then makeups) all to take the focus off his players, brilliant, Waterboy stint so astute. Picked Siya as captain, right person right time yet in hindsight this maybe was ingenious but is now a lasting coup de maître. Going to see great things from Siya, so interesting to see the difference in 2019 Siya was passing the cup to others to hold and celebrate, in 2023 he took it by both hands, he has developed significantly in public speaking pre and post game and his public demoue is incredible.The transformation and diversity of the Boks, Bokke or Amabhokobhoko is Nobel Peace prize level. He and his coaching team have also transformed the teams skillset and game plans. He has orchestrated the team well, on game day who is better? - in 2019 instructing team do "the move now", next level. Wants success but gives it to his players by standing in the back of celebrations. I could go on and on, which maybe spooky but Rassie is incredible. By the way visions and dreams can be explained by the fact that when you know the game so well, studied all the patterns, you know each player from both teams, you know the ref, you have instructed your players to play a certain way or to look for certain triggers then some things are predictable, yes it will be a close game, yes your players and your bomb squad will get a penalty yes the other team is happy to give penalties, when they have a lead, especially if they think the kick is out of reach, yes you have a player that could kick that far under pressure and deliver, etc. In other words I truly believe you can make dreams come true. There are things you can control. Take a calculated risk and it may very well pay off. I salute you Rassie.
Great video!!!! Rassie is an amazing guy! Its unbelievable how everyone wants to ban him or get rid of him. They all know just how good he is. A man that innovates will always have a target on his back. RWC 2023 is ours.
I’m sure Mandela is watching from above, admiring the rainbow Bok team brought about by Rassie. There is not 1 player of colour that did not deserve his place in the greatest rugby team of all time. Simply an amazing team.
Well done. Really interesting to see this side of Rassie with what sounds a terrific book. So glad South Africa have evolved their game from four years ago, which was effective, but so limited. Do not have visions, but also expect a France - South Africa final.
Now so have to read the book. At 12.10 into the chat did your guest pull a finger at the Rugby Establishment. Would have been funny.Rassie is the modern day Siener for rugby. Great interview and thanks BizNews for a great channel. Salute.
Thought provoking interview which blows our minds and preconceptions of one amazing wonderful South African and passionate person i.e. our Rassie! 🙏 Well done.
I dont think we can fathom now what the loss of Rassie will be if he leaves SA Rugby. Hopefully he would have left enough IP so that the likes of Deon Davids can be develop into a proper coach like Rassie or Jacques. Would really like that Rassie commits for a decade to school a new breed of coaches and leave behind the necessary institutional knowledge but one never knows when he had enough so we have to appreciate his involvement while he is still around.
@@grantbradshaw7907 Look up New Zealand journalism in 2015 when both Brussow and Coetzee were inexplicably left at home for a player no one had heard of. Then tell me there's never been any politics about selection as Rassie claims. "He could have picked Duane vermeulen but er.. he was playing in France and the players wouldnt know him!" Lol. Do me a favour. Push all these omissions and evasions on us all you want - but dont expect us to buy it.
@@powerbite92All true, however. Rassie has managed to work the system better than anyone before him, behind the scenes you can only imagine. And more importantly I fear there is no-one to hand this torch to, and that this era will become a highlight as the standard political deterioration takes control.
I feel for Rassie. Cortisone is not a fun drug. I can’t see any change in rules re the lights - it is, as you say, pretty obvious. Thanks, David. I’m definitely gonna get the book. By the way, England performed against expectations in 2007, and the Boks still drilled them. Twice!
I am so impressed with the interview and it only confirms what a AWESOME person Rassie is There was Afrikaans people that critize Rassie about his swearing My opinion Rassie is a GREAT PERSON and Thank You for Excellent work of a Excellent person
Rassie is 'n sterk empatiese persoon . Al die karakter trekke en die dinge wat hy doen ingesluit die visioene dui daarop dat hy empaties is. In engels is dit 'n "empath". Slaan dit gerus na. Hulle is diep denkers en ek dink nie hy is skaam nie. Empatiese mense hou nie baie mense om hulle nie. Hulle kan nie chaos hanteer nie alhoewel hulle hul grootste oomblikke het uit dit wat hulle uit chaos geskep het.
I have been in the UK on and off over the last 5 years and moved in some rugby circles and not once have I come across the narrative that Rassie is a cheat. I am very surprised that David seems to think that this is the case. It certainly runs counter to at least my lived experience.
Rassie is a born and bred Rugby Magic Maker ...just like a Racehorse bred to race however Champion Division ...like Horse Chestnut ...in his own league...let's call it a kinda Magic Beatrix Strydom

Great interview
Rassie is a true South African Hero.
Flawed yet perfect.
Just exactly what our beloved country needed and still needs
Great to hear your voice again David. Remember you so well on SABC radio & tv. I always respected your frank open reporting on our beloved game, with passion. Always wondered what happened to you post those day and happy to see you up and about and sharing once again with passion. Blessings.
Love Rassie! What a legend🇿🇦
David, you made my week ! This was a riveting interview and huge respect for getting to understand Rassie that well and translate it all accurately !
Fascinating interview, David was definitely the man to tell the epic tale. Beautiful!
What an interview. Can’t wait to get my hands on this book. Rassie you are definitely a genius.
Rassie is a national treasure 🇿🇦, I fear for the future of SA rugby when his time comes to an end.
If he trains others than there is nothing to fear
@@ElethuDuna That is true, And he is but it's our politics that concerns me. He has managed to keep that out of the picture while maintaining a balance, that takes an innovative mind and a strong personality, not sure if there's an incumbent to take that over.
Good interview - I think all of South Africa should hear this insightful intro into Rassie and the book.
Rassie is the key for the Boks to win another title because he knows that innovation is the element of surprise. The downside is that it takes too long for the Boks players to buy into Rassie's ideas. Imagine if the All Blacks was coached by Rassie, we will be unstoppable.

So far, the innovative coaches at this world cup are from France, Ireland, OZ and the Boks.
The Boks introduced to the world the 3-4-1 scrum formation during their victorious 1937 tour of NZ.
Why would it take long for the Boks to buy into his methods when they all say that they buy into team culture very easily? Get your facts straight mate.

Great interview, thank you Linda & David.

Absolutely stunning stuff. Many thanks! & long live BizNews!

Thought provoking interview which blows our minds and preconceptions of one amazing wonderful South African and passionate person i.e. our Rassie! 🙏 Well done.
Thank you great interview..
What a great story, thank you for sharing.
Rassie is the man, a proper kiff oke, legend!

The man is a legend! Love him!
100 000 words in 3-4 months is mind blowing! 😮
THERE ARE MANY OF US MUSKING OUR INTROVERT CHARACTER WITH AN EXTROVERT DISPLAY
Rassie is something else man❤.
If they ban lights that will be the most absurd and pathetic action. Rassie is a hero. The haters are ignorant. They should read the book.
I love you Rassie ❤🇿🇦🔥❤🔥
I'd say this interview aged pretty well...
lovely story ! .. thank you .. anyone overseas who thinks Rassie is a 'cheat' has big blinkers on .. in SA we salute him :) Go Bokke Go !!
Great interview! Thanks.
ANC mafia should stay out of sport as everything they touched turn into 🤢
You absolutely right
They break and steal

True words.
If his parents sent him to Grey we would have the perfect gentleman. :-)

He is a GREAT GUY
Not many people are aware of the fact that Rassie has health issues. How will he manage without Jacques next year?
Goeie onderhoud. Ek sien uit om die boek te lees.
No problem with world rugby when he wins 😨
Lots of effort trolling SA, hows it going with the AB's Russell?
