[WATCH] Rassie drops another p-bomb after Boks loss at Eden Park
Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus said South Africans were likely 'gatvol' of the team after their disappointing loss to the All Blacks.
Rugby World Reacts to Coaches' Post-Match Demeanor A recent short video capturing the intense reactions of rugby coaches during a pivotal match has ignited widespread discussion among fans and pundits. The footage, circulated widely online, shows two coaches in what appears to be a commentary or analysis booth. One coach, identifiable by his green cap and headphones, is seen making animated gestures, while his counterpart, in a white t-shirt, maintains a somber and reflective posture, frequently looking down. The video, overlaid with the question "How did the game go?", has prompted a torrent of speculation and commentary, particularly from South African rugby supporters. Many viewers interpreted the coaches' expressions as indicative of a challenging game, with some directly attributing a loss to various factors. One commenter, reflecting on the perceived outcome, stated, "Very very bad day for reffing again and NZ negative rugby. I am so proud of SA only losing to the ref and NZ by 7 and given another 10 minutes most probably would have won the game against the ref and NZ … I believe Rassie learnt more from this game than NZ did." This sentiment was echoed by others, with one user noting, "15 vs 16 is so diffcult" alongside a photo, implying a perceived disadvantage. However, not all reactions were sympathetic. Some fans pointed fingers at specific players, with comments like "Handre Pollard, Willie Le Roux and Malcolm Marx cost us this game." Others criticized the team's strategy and coaching, suggesting, "All blacks had a game plan which the springboks didn't have. need new coach with a better plan and coaching." There were also remarks challenging the Springboks' ability to accept defeat, such as "South Africa can’t take it if they lose." The video, uploaded from New Zealand, has become a focal point for post-match analysis, highlighting the passionate and often critical engagement of rugby fans with their teams' performances and coaching staff.
