If the world of rugby was a party, Rassie Erasmus would be its last man standing, or rather, its first man dancing the morning after. Fresh off a night of celebrations, the Springbok coach was caught on camera still in the throes of jubilation, proving that some victories taste sweeter with a little sleep deprivation.
The video, which surfaced early morning on October 5, 2025, shows a visibly elated Erasmus surrounded by the remnants of last night’s revelry. With a grin as wide as a rugby field, the coach’s post-victory glow was infectious, capturing the essence of a hard-fought win that clearly meant the world to him and his team.
Erasmus, ever the social media savant, took to Twitter to share his state of euphoria with the world, captioning his video with a heartfelt, "Was tough!! but very lekka!! Danko ????". It's not every day you see a coach blend the highs of professional triumph with the candid charm of a tweet that might as well have come from any die-hard fan in the stands.
"Was tough!! but very lekka!! Danko ????"
The video isn’t just a testament to Erasmus’s resilience or his ability to party into the wee hours. It's a snapshot of what rugby means to South Africa. The game is more than just a sport; it’s a communal experience that binds people together in moments of sheer, unadulterated joy. Erasmus, in his dual role as a tactician and cheerleader, embodies this spirit to the fullest.
As the Springboks revel in their latest victory, the rugby world watches on with admiration. Erasmus’s ability to maintain his infectious enthusiasm not just for the game, but for his team’s ethos, continues to endear him to fans and players alike. Under his guidance, the Springboks don't just play; they inspire.
While the video has certainly done rounds on the internet, charming everyone from casual onlookers to die-hard fans, it serves as a reminder that in rugby, the heart often weighs more than the scoreboard. And for Rassie Erasmus and his band of Springboks, their hearts—and their celebratory spirits—are clearly as robust as ever.
