Rassie has lived through the history of S.A rugby when apartied was at its peak. He's seen and heard it all, seen and lived the struggles. This man had worked so hard on himself he is able to live the right path because he is not wrong. I love the spring Bok,lm From NZ!!
Rassie's honesty and straightforwardness is refreshing. No more riddles and uncertainty. Reminds me of Heyneke. Full of passion for the jersey. Its all about the team, not the coach, or individuals, and especially not skin colour. Just the jersey and the country. All the best Rassie
Man, what an interview. Really enjoyed it. Matt did extremely well and Rassie just responded out of honesty. I love the realness. Excited what is to come for SA Rugby.
Wow amazing coach, man, South African. SA rugby is in safe hands with this man. The way he answered about transformation was eloquent and practical rather than put a number to a target. Viva Bokkie Viva
Watching this in 2021 after the Springboks have won the Rugby Championship 2019, Rugby World Cup , Lions Series in 2021 and have been ranked no.1 in the world since 2019.
May God bless you also Mdududzi, and as a Cornishman who loves his rugby, I hope that Rassie and the Springboks win the "2019 RWC and show the World a happy and triumphant squad of united South Africans.
Thank you Supersport.Fantastic interview and so refreshing to hear directly from the coach. Please keep these kinds of interviews coming and thanks for all the great sports coverage. Bokke bo!
One thing that is very obvious from this interview is that Rassie was very clear about what it would take and what was needed to get there right from the start.
I use the word genius likely, but he definitely is, from his strategic planning to execution and succession planning. He manages the bias media brilliantly and is always thinking about how it will effect the Boks. They way he turned the Boks into a World Cup winning side utilising key management and support staff was and is superb. Very special person, Rassie for President.
Massive respect for Eramus I have. He was the manager of all SA rubgy, had to take the springboks(which in theory isone step below in termsof hierarchy) and got the world championship. And now he's going down to manager again! Great example
The most visionary discussion on bok rugby I’ve ever heard, remember we have the dumb version of Strualli, that should never be repeated. This was pure rugby vision and it’s 2024, my first viewing of this interview. No need for Rassie to be as apologetic now but would like to hear the discussion on planning forward as in depth as this.
I think the All Blacks leadership group should watch this clip, after what happened in RWC 2019, to come back tops in the post Hansen era. It will help, immensely !!
wonderful discussion with insightful answers and questions More of these kind of discussions are helpful especially for us who started say in the 1950s say as school boys with say names like Ulyate Teichman(player /captain ) etc K H
My advice is for rassie and boks to retreat for at least 6months prior to RWC2019 kick off, on Pacific Island such as Palawan. Such isolated environment will ensure total and focussed final preparation. Nobody knows rugby here. Perfect!!!!!!! Think man... Think
Did you even watch the interview. Bongi was tired. Bongi came from an apendix operation and took a strain on his fitness. That's why he didn't play a lot at SR and was substituted early. Rassie still felt that he was good enough for 30 mins. If you watched the interview Rassie says "2/3 minutes before the line out we planned to sub him, but after the over throw I actually asked them not to sub him" Maybe you should watch the video before making stupid comments
Andile, why even bother commenting when you do not even pay attention? You should remove this dumb comment of yours. You are 'insulted' for Bongi, yet he himself is not. WTF is that about?
A unique rugby mind. Bravo Rassie and the mighty Boks.
Rassie is a legend, and will probably be the greatest South Africa Rugby coach, ever !!
God Bless him..... Forever
All Springbok coaches should have an in-depth public interview like this once a year. What a legend!

Well @ the end Meyer was full of riddles. If you remember how he picked the 2015 squad it was all riddles and mind games
I love this interview, Rassie is such a great guy can't wait to see what the next 6 years will bring to SA rugby.

oh boy... the best 6 years ever 😂🔥
Looking back now, at the time of this interview, who could have imagined what would unfold? What a guy Rassie is!
Man, what an interview. Really enjoyed it. Matt did extremely well and Rassie just responded out of honesty. I love the realness. Excited what is to come for SA Rugby.
🙂
Makes amazing listening after two World Cups!! 🇿🇦 🏉 🏆🏆 🤙
Who is here thinking 'wow' after the world cup? Rassie masterstrokes coming together in this interview as you look back!
Wow amazing coach, man, South African. SA rugby is in safe hands with this man. The way he answered about transformation was eloquent and practical rather than put a number to a target. Viva Bokkie Viva

God bless the Springboks and to all Springbok fans, lets support Rassie and his boys, #Springboks for world 2019
May God bless you also Mdududzi, and as a Cornishman who loves his rugby, I hope that Rassie and the Springboks win the "2019 RWC and show the World a happy and triumphant squad of united South Africans.
I LOVE YOU RASSIE , YOU REALLY ARE THE HERO WE NEEDED . SO INTERESTING WATCHING HIS AFTER WE BROUGHT THE CUP HOME !!! YOU ARE THE MAN !!!
And we did it again woe great times to be alive
Please please please do another interview like this post 2019 WC
Would love to hear Rassie’s views at this point!
Thank you Supersport.Fantastic interview and so refreshing to hear directly from the coach. Please keep these kinds of interviews coming and thanks for all the great sports coverage. Bokke bo!
What a decent honest man he is.
One thing that is very obvious from this interview is that Rassie was very clear about what it would take and what was needed to get there right from the start.
From what I could see is that Rassie is developing his depth, and look at the long-term progress of Springbok rugby from day 1.
Excellent, honest, informative interview; a pleasure to listen to and view. Thank you very much.
What a brilliant interview. Thoroughly enjoyed. Great insight

I would love to see another of these interviews from Rassie. Although his regular interviews, although shorter and great too.
Great coach and person in general.
Great interview Rassie...excellent with honesty...good luck with the Boks in 2019 RWC
Thanks for this interview, SuperSport! This was very insightful. Good luck for 2019, Bokke!
This was such a great interview! Matt should do another one like this now that we are would champs
Massive respect for Eramus I have. He was the manager of all SA rubgy, had to take the springboks(which in theory isone step below in termsof hierarchy) and got the world championship. And now he's going down to manager again! Great example

Very good interview.
People need to realize that Rassie is a complete Genius. Very intelligent
True honestly and humility
2024 looking at this, how did the Boks changed. Rassie is legendary. Tackles win matches!
A true South African Hero.
Rassie is the best😭
I think the All Blacks leadership group should watch this clip, after what happened in RWC 2019, to come back tops in the post Hansen era. It will help, immensely !!

Watching after World Cup win!! February 2020
🎶 His in your heeaad in your heaad

Gees Rassie has aged rapidly since this. This job must be extremely taxing.
Rassie has health challenges.
I cried 51:00....... 😭😭😭😭😭😭
...future proves past, Rassie and SA Ruby players and public.
My advice is for rassie and boks to retreat for at least 6months prior to RWC2019 kick off, on Pacific Island such as Palawan. Such isolated environment will ensure total and focussed final preparation. Nobody knows rugby here. Perfect!!!!!!! Think man... Think
MJ Young You mean ffink man ffink.
nobody can say WIFF like Rassie...hehehehehe

The explanation around substitution of Bongi is insulting.
How? It was a fair response considering where Bongi came from.
Where did Bongi come from&how is that related to him being substituted after an over throw?
Did you even watch the interview. Bongi was tired. Bongi came from an apendix operation and took a strain on his fitness. That's why he didn't play a lot at SR and was substituted early. Rassie still felt that he was good enough for 30 mins.

@@theultimatesharpshooter6734 He could not have watched the interview, certainly not while paying full attention!
Andile, why even bother commenting when you do not even pay attention? You should remove this dumb comment of yours. You are 'insulted' for Bongi, yet he himself is not. WTF is that about?
