Rassie the rugby genius :)

Rassie Erasmus’ crazy method of preparing the Boks for France is absolutely hilarious Brilliant Springboks boss Rassie Erasmus has never been shy to experiment and try new things in rugby and given his success at the last two World Cups – it’s safe to say he won’t be stopping anytime soon. We’ve seen him pull off some pretty outlandish stuff, from 7-1 bench splits to traffic light systems to pass signals to his players, but this latest one might just be the best yet. Heading into last year’s World Cup quarter-final against France, the Boks were underdogs, and understandably so given the form of Les Blues and the fact that they were tournament hosts with an entire country behind them Rassie was all too aware of this and knew it would be a factor on the day in the stadium, with the majority of fans set to be French. The solution? Follow the players around all week with a giant speaker belting out the French anthem. Can’t wait to see Chasing the Sun 2 my mates back home in SA are saying Rassie is just next level. Big Jim Hamilton in his preview says as much

That is so funny : ) : ) imagine seeing that on the street in France when the Boks walk around….I would crack myself…Did it really happen?

Yes it really happened but not on the streets but at the training ground. Rassie is walking around with Mostert’s huge speaker on wheels playing the French anthem to the players all week. There is a video of it and it’s included in Chasing the Sun 2. The players say that by the time they took to the field and the French along with the home supporters sung their national anthem the players were immune to it all, if anything it pissed them off and got them fired up for the game as they were so sick of hearing it. It’s actually fucking clever of Rassie - it’s the kind of thing only he could come up with. Talk about thinking out the box

Clive is too fucking stupid to come up with anything Never heard it done before

Bullshit

Bullshit - no Google search reveals that useless Woodward or any other coach has played opposition anthems in training

Not to piss the Fiji players off and since when was Swing Low your anthem - wake the fuck up

Bullshit

It didn't happen, cos Fattex said it didn't happen.

“ One year, Geoff Cooke decided to change things a little bit and we trained in Gloucester, before staying in the middle of Cardiff for a night or two before. “When we trained in Gloucester, Geoff played the Welsh national anthem over the loudspeakers for the duration of the training session “ - Dave i think your Google ain’t working properly…1 Quick search, and I found this….Becs is a 100% correct : )

Jeremy Guscott used to prepare for Wales v England by playing Welsh national anthem. The former England rugby centre reveals that, just like this year's England squad, he too used to listen to The Land of My Fathers while training with England. Stuart Lancaster isn't the first coach to blare out Welsh hymns during England rugby training, according to Jeremy Guscott. The England rugby union team have prepared for their first Six Nations match against Wales this Friday by playing recordings of the Welsh crowd through speakers during training. But speaking ahead of the tournament, former England centre and BBC pundit Jeremy Guscott revealed that his England coach did the same thing in the 1990s, in order to prepare the team for the deafening reception they would receive in Cardiff. When I was an England player under Geoff Cooke, we trained at [Gloucester’s stadium] Kingsholm before the Five Nations in 1991. During training, we had the Welsh national anthem blaring out through the announcing system," he said. No matter what nationality you are, that anthem [The Land of My Fathers] can be moving. We all hum it even though we don’t know the words. It’s brilliant, but you can get lost in it, so Geoff thought, 'Well, I’m going to blast it out every day then.' Without being disrespectful, by the time we got to the game, we lined up for the anthems and when the Welsh one struck up we thought, 'Oh, please let this be over already.' That was one mental edge we had," Guscott recalled. /// So this was not a original idea from Tassie, he COPIED it!! Genius my ass !!

Fuck off

Yawn

Some advice for you, Fattex. Perhaps, if you didn't always assume everybody else was always wrong, without actually knowing what you yourself are talking about...then you wouldn't be so butt hurt when you're proven wrong. What a child you are.

Buttplug who gives a fuck what you have to say I stick by my original take on this but you are too fucking stupid to understand my take or Becs’s wonderful betrayal

It’s almost in a sense a bit of psychological terror…once you have listened to it long enough, you hate it….and anything that is associated with it, you want to F it up….a bit of good old Reverse Psychology.

That was a wink Rooi don’t worry

Moz no one has said Rassie playing anthems was genius - much of the analytical stuff he did was where the rugby genius comes to play What Chasing the Sun 2 and weep That documentary is going to be your biggest embarrassment. Maybe you should not watch it

No it’s not on you tube….it’s to special for You Tube : )…you have to stream the Show on showmax or it’s on DSTV premium….it’s sooo…Fucking "special" that none of the true poor Boks Supporters can watch it…none of them can afford DSTV….they can hardly afford Food!!

I find it a bit sticky….it’s always like Tassie is trying to say that Boks are playing for life and Death….dramatic….it’s like American action movies, where they always saving the World…I would say Tassie is a bit of a Lowborn Slut : ) : )

Mpower you are too stupid to grasp it

Ja whatever Dave…like I am really going to take your opinion seriously : )…Ja sure it’s been filmed good.. but I also grasp that it’s being used as some kind of political tool …the whole Bok emblem actually…well that is just my opinion, and I have the right to my opinion….so you go right ahead and put your head Right up to your neck, back into Tassies,s arse…. That’s where you feel most comfortable : )

Oh I don’t know Gregori was nice when you got to know him……rasputedly I mean reputedly.

Grigori Rasputin

Mpower you would not fucking know what a political tool is
