Springbok head coach Rassie Erasmus has delivered an inspiring message ahead of the 2025 rugby season, setting the tone for what promises to be another thrilling chapter in South African rugby. In a heartfelt statement shared with fans and media, Erasmus emphasized unity, resilience, and the importance of maintaining the Springboks’ winning culture.

“We’re not just preparing for games – we’re building a legacy,” Erasmus said. “Our focus is on hard work, pride in the jersey, and giving everything for the country. The challenges ahead are great, but so is our belief in each other.”

Erasmus, hailed as a tactical genius and passionate leader, returned as head coach earlier this year. Under his guidance, South Africa claimed the 2019 and 2023 Rugby World Cups, earning admiration for their grit and strategic brilliance.

Looking to the upcoming international fixtures, Erasmus urged supporters to stay behind the team. “South Africans are our heartbeat. When we play, we carry you with us,” he added.

With fresh talent emerging and veteran players still at their peak, Erasmus’s message serves as a rallying cry. As preparations intensify, the Springboks appear ready to defend their status as rugby’s most formidable force.
