@@george941 England's goal was to beat NZ, that is what they trained for and we'll done to them, they accomplished what they set out to do and that is where the English people departed. Their celebrations after beating NZ said it all, they lost the WC right there and then. SA on the other hand beating Wales in that strategically brilliant game and their celebrations afterwards said it all.
South Africa was more aimed at taking on the All Black's in the final as their entire build up suggested and having NZ in the opening worked out perfectly. Jones should've taken notes as NZ won that game by getting 2 tries within 5 minutes, this before the Boks got their unique defence system up and running and we saw how devastating this was against Eng. Then following SA through their build up to the final, how they constantly improved in every game should have set alarm bells ringing for anyone who was going to face them in the final. SA was comparable to the 2009 Springboks and only NZ had any chance at beating them and a small chance at that. SA lost 1 line out ball the whole tournament against Wales!
Getting Eng in the final made it a very easy route to lifting the cup. Unfortunately for the Poms there was no way with their strategy and game plan that they had much chance. SA had already cracked their system in their last encounter and Eng kept the exact same strategy for 10 games in a row. The only difference in the final was trying it out in the second half instead of the first.
No other team improved more than the Boks throughout the tournament and this was a phenomia on its own. Every team has to admit this. Eng on the other hand, in the final, made the second least amount of metres of any team in the history of the WC dating back to 1987. South Africa, as Rassie said, had a squad capable of winning a WC not just beating NZ like Jones had prepared for. The effectiveness of Nienaber and a master tactician like Rassie proved what they set out to do. This is what Rassie suggested.
1. Defence wins games not attack!
Your forwards need to be as fresh in the last 5 minutes as they were in the first 5 minutes. This has always been the success of the Boks.
2. Perfect and win your set pieces!
No comment needed here.
3. The game is won in the last 20 minutes!
Springbok wings scored a try each in the last 20 in the final.
Both Rassie and Pollard openly said what they going to do and they said, Eng will not surprise us with anything. Its not going to be pretty but they said they were not there to play pretty rugby, they came to win There was nothing Eng could do to get around these traditional strengths.
Eddie Jones made a bad squad selection too and bringing in Ben Youngs into the squad, 1 week before the final? Their coffin was made. Eng were in dire straights while the Boks were 100% prepared for a final. Go watch how nervous the English were before the game even kicked off. Farrell was fumbling at the coin toss. I can guarantee you that, had it been NZ in the final, they too would have been ready. This was going to be the real match but thanks to Eddie, we didn't even have to play it.
scotty101ire please...... this is rugby, leave the trash talk to football hooligans. Go bokke!
Damn, low key psych up! He tapped into the spirit of South Africa with this simple talk. Removed fear and instilled purpose. A brilliant coach!
Couldn't have said it better!
thats whats so great about this. This is no pump up which might fade after 20 minutes and get the blood rushing. this is a friendly almost fatherly way of motivating you by reaching into the best part of your soul. Rassie an absolute legend
A real mentor respect to Rassie
Beautifully put.
“Go into 120 battles and win 80 rather going into just 50 battles and losing only 4.”
This is an incredible rugby lesson for a 100 different reasons. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
It's so powerful! ❤️
Basic Game Theory but removed from an abstract theory into a really practical mantra.
Rassie wiped that smirk off Eddie's face. Ha! Good times! 🇿🇦🇿🇦💭
@995sean yes... and?
@995sean wiping the smirk off someone's face has nothing to do with friendship or respect. It's more about England thinking that they already deserved the WC before they played the final. The smirks all seemed to dry up from Eddie, Farrell and Co since the semis.
England were gracious losers BawlzOfuzz - pity you and your kind can’t be gracious winners. You sound like the kind of knucklehead who permanently has a ‘smirk’ on his face....but I suspect you’re young, and naive! Well done to England, we welcome you to SA anytime.
@@srodber915 nope I live in England. I saw first hand how we were written off. 🤘
@995sean I don't mean to be disingenuous to the English fans in any way. The England faithful are a fantastic bunch of people who really enjoy a good game of rugby. All I was saying is that it was nice (from my point of view) to see Eddie and Farrell have their smirks wiped off.
You don't have the right to drop your head, It's not about you
Powerful 👍🏼
Love it
He totally unleashed the "feareless" mode in them, how can you fear anything if you have been told its not even about you.🙌🙌🙌🙌
Rassie is pure class. There is not a coach on the planet that comes close.
Stuart Hayward huge overstatement obvs bok bias
Steve Hansen
@@davidhiggins2578 yes, Hansen and Rassie are equally class- gentlemen of the game and tactical geniuses- they are pure class because they are incredibly humble. I would also put Warren Gatland in the category of pure class in terms of being humble. Erasmus, Hansen and Gatland, outstanding men with zero ego. These are the types of rolemodels that young rugby fans need.
@@stuarthayward4756 i wouldnt be so quick to put Hansen in same category as Rassie, yes maybe technically they are but thats where it ends...Rassie is beyond a coach, the man took his time to understand our politics and was very upfront about transformation and he was honest to the players...Hansen on the other hand made a statement that the Boks will never with a World Cup with quota players, made no effort at all to understand our unique history and politics.
@@sarasonsalas3472 *"Hansen on the other hand made a statement that the Boks will never with a World Cup with quota players"* - when / where did he say that?
This just made me want to relive the moment we beat England again 😭😭
@Bucket with a face on it. Salty much?
Every fan in the world turned into south African fans that day, being irish I thank you and your country for shutting up our loud neighbours
No screaming and shouting like other coaches. That folks, is a leader. You can see (and hear) that there was a buildup to this moment. What needed to be said, was said prior to this message and this message is powerful in it's simplicity. You have worked hard to be here. Do not sweat the small stuff. If you slip, take it on the chin and man up. Give your everything, even if it is not good enough. And once it is done, you will reap the benefits of your hard work and look back at an amazing journey - with a smile on your face as you gave it your all.
He gets into your head!!!
Goosebumps!!! Even today 13 Feb 2020!!! Respect to Rassie, Best coach we've ever had!! ❤🇿🇦
Even today 01 Jan 2021
Even today; 18 November 2023! Back to back Rugby World Cup Champs 🇿🇦🏆🏆🏆🏆🇿🇦
What Rassie did for us South Africans was absolutely amazing. I watched every game and Duane Vermeulen was my favourite player all tournament. Hope is that Rassie is given a "blank cheque" when it comes to the Springboks because he clearly knows what he is doing. NO INTERFERENCE from anyone, Rassie has earned the right to take any decisions concerning the BOKS without being questioned by anyone.....RASSIE ERASMUS is definitely my favourite SOUTH AFRICAN
You know what's so great about this? This is no pump up which might fade after 20 minutes and get the blood rushing. this is a friendly almost fatherly way of motivating you by reaching into the best part of your soul. Absolute legend
One day when I'm Big I wanna be able to inspire my team like this!
I'll bet you will
This man is so wholesome it's ridiculous
Who wouldn’t go to war for this man? I’m sitting on a couch and relaxing ... but would run in the direction he points me to if requested. GREAT leader of men
Rassie obviously has a brilliant mind, just in general.
What a way to psyche your guys up.
Love from NZ. Thank God for this man!
When you know you have worked hard but still doubting yourself. This is what is needed!
Rassie is a genius of a leader. He totally eliminated the fear of failure, and it showed in their playing style. There is a magic that happens when people are given the freedom to be wrong. The two tries that the Boks scored are results of risk.
the second trie was not much of a risk for Kolbe, it was him against only 4 guys. easy peasy lemon squeezy
I could listen to him every day
I like his sense of humour,a father figure to his players, you have made history for South Africa, proud of you
Thank you Rassie you are the best. Think about your future also its more important, make the choices that can secure your families future. Wish you the very best.
English with afrikander accent 🇿🇦
Once Rassie is done with Rugby, maybe he can clean up our cricket too..but we will have to wait six years.
Maybe politics next, has something none of our parties have and that integrity, understanding the bigger picture and the nation comes first.
Rassie will be done with his last breathe before he stops thinking rugby. You think you are a gift from God? Well, to Rassie, rugby is a gift from God...
Soccer as well, 🇿🇦🇿🇦
@@henkstols9326 Yes clean,clean and clean
Leaders should know it's not about them it's about the Nation!!
@@legowhall2370 basics all we need
With this speech, he got rid of the fear of making a mistake. This is something that whole generations of Book coaches failed to do, time and time again.
How many times did we see in the past that we'd get up to the All Blacks try line, but then our players would go into their shells and no one would want to make a mistake, which caused us to lose the ball.
I hope he can keep this mentality going... he made such an excellent point with 'rather get into 120 battles and win 80, than get into 50 battles and lose only 4'.
I'm so used to the screaming and shouting so much that this is refreshing 👍
this is how a grownup talks to grownups
I love how he makes them fall in love with the game rather than just winning ...he planted the seed and they have to grow it to feed off one another that's what a coach purpose is all about for the greater good ...love my country and all who live in it🙏❤
look at the precise timings behind him, and England were late, Everything about this teams preparation and conduct made them deserving winners
Dankie coach Rassie, dit was die best video na die world cup win....!
Ek is so trots op jou en die span, net om weer daar aan te dink gee my hoendervleis en dan die video wat wys jy is ons nuwe Doc Craven
Great inspirational speech, explaining what happened in South Africa current political situation (Corruptions) and telling these players you’re living on dreams and win for SA. All payers need some inspiration, his motivational speech before the game. Thank for the video. Cheers from Oklahoma.
That was awesome! What a legend🇿🇦🇿🇦
i will worry and then we have a beer afterwards what a great spirit
Rassie jou lekker ding!
I get a sense now for why the Springboks looked so composed throughout the World Cup. Rassie obviously instilled a great mindset and attitude into the squad that would be very difficult for outside forces to corrupt. I get the feeling, and I might be wrong, that the England management and team were very preoccupied with external things, what the other teams were doing, what the other managers were saying and doing, whereas I get the feeling that Rassie just made sure we focused on ourselves, forget what others are thinking or doing, just get our heads and hearts right.
What an amazing guy.
Great great coach and leader. Take away Rasie and there would be no world cup victory for South Africa.
Best motivational speech ever made.
Love this!
Sh*t even I'm pumped up.
Talk about removing fear and instilling focus, listening to this, I feel like even I could have gone out onto that pitch and done a job.
Love it!!.... Men and a leader acting like they should !!!...
💯
I Love this man
It's so calm and low-key it's the opposite of the Any Given Sunday speech....BUT it gets the reaction he wanted. Calm the nerves, realise you're a team. Yes there are millions watching and hoping and dreaming, every player realises that. Win 80 out of 120 battles, not 46 out of 50. Wise words. Keep going, keep fighting for the man next to you. The rest will take care of itself. Goosebumps as I write this...
South Africa the only country where we drop in two to three languages in a single conversation lol - love the Bokke
Absolute class. Rassie understands that a big part of winning is player mentality and psyche. Players dont like playing for coaches that will axe them for a dropped ball. Calm and relaxed players = success. Wish more coaches would understand this
I wish soccer was as organized as rugby in SA.. Grass root development is almost non existent in most communities. It's beautiful seeing a mixture of black white and colored coming together to give their best for the same cause.
RASSIE YOU BEAUTY!!!!
Rassie is a genius!!
Peter Steph listened to Rassie and won us the cup. 😂😂😂
This makes a lot of sense, the English players certainly felt they had the right to let their heads drop
One word for coach Rassie: Genius
great to listen to for all of us who didn't make it to the world cup final.
What a man ❤
'Windgat' means cocky or arrogant for all the non Afrikaans speaking.
For me listening to this (if I were about to step onto the pitch) just puts me at ease. Like I feel no pressure, I just want to give my best. Great words
I have been called that a lot. "Jy's voken windgat" has been said to me more than I can recall. 😂😂
@@MosesMatsepane😂
Best coach ever
So was Eddies speech the opposite to this? "If you lose, hang your head low, sulk and throw your medals away and appear to be ungrateful bastards who got 2nd at the highest level of competition for rugby in the world."
It's called being disappointed with themselves, they knew they didn't perform how they wanted to.
Refusing to wear their medals was the only way they could display the realisation that they didn't stand a chance. They were just outdone in every single aspect, as if like a little dog beaten into submission, Eng could only do 1 thing in the final and that was run backwards and if you get the ball just throw it away. They were hopelessly unprepared for a physical dominating game and then watching the Eng / France game, it was clear England were light years from being anywhere near world champs.
Then in the Eng / Scot game in pure desperation England attempted to use a move or 2 from the Boks which worked so well against them, no doubt Proudfoot wiggling in there but unfortunately England's half hearted dismal attempts was just a fail after fail. After how perfectly the S Africans pulled it off, Eng displayed a calamity, it looked like a car crash before they even got the ball out. England even opted for Rassie's 6/2 split after all those newspaper reports after the WC of how such a split should be banned 🤣
Big question mark over Proudfoot after winning a WC and then scraping along with Eng now.
It seems South Africa knocked Eng back into the stone age and they still trying to figure out how to make sparks but they using clods instead of rocks. Think they got such a fright in the WC final they still running backwards. Whether the French will be fit enough to see the end of the 6 nations is another topic but Eng are going to have to pull themselves towards themselves if they want to be taken as a serious contender this year.
Bucket with a face on it Wrong sport mate. Football’s probably a better option for you if you want to whine about referees after your team is well beaten by the oppo. England actually did suffer a terrible refereeing performance in 2003, but still found a way to win.
@Bucket with a face on it that pass was referred and not deemed forward.. it was not forward and would be given more often than not. The one penalty for holding on went the Boks way...other than that not much besides an offside England
Jerome Garces was the worst Ref SA could have asked for because of his appalling record while officiating SA games. There was even a petition in SA to prevent him from reffing anymore games in the WC after the opening SA / NZ game.
What South Africa did and this is a sign of a good coach and if you know Rassie you'd understand, SA adapted their way of playing to suit how Garces allows the game to continue. They made what was a very negative point and turned it into their advantage. Traditionally the Boks are a very adaptable team and adjusting their play to suit the ref makes the other team whinge about him instead.
SA had him in their Wales game and again in the final and how did the Poms whine then. Point proven.

Raasie is great.
get yourself into 120 battle and win 80 !
Rassie used the FBI technic to get the result he wanted, his tone is friendly and his players relate to it..
I think even Alistair Coetzee was impressed by that speech.
As an England fan I knew we would lose this game after 5 minutes. The Boks looked measured and controlled and played field position. For some reason, which I still don't understand, the England players made bad decisions and looked mentally flustered...throwing bad passes, letting Farrell take the ball up just outside their 22...running the ball out from behind their line. It was a good example of how important mental preparation or not can affect performance.
💪🔥
Can we see the Eddie Jones one?
Asb moet nie England toe gaan nie :(
Nee chom, fake news
Good thing SARU will just push transformation more and more👍🏼
;-) I surmise that you are from England. Or Ireland. Or Scotland. Or Wales. Or France. Or Oz. Or NZ. Or ....
@@kobusg7460 Or from Joburg? you know how SARU is getting more and more political. Please refer to Sports and Recreation Amendment Bill - which was published just before Christmas. Govt wants to nationalise all sports
All I heard was gibberish from Manny Ribera(Scarface) or some may better know him as Don Eladio.
Get your yourself into 120 battles and win 80.
As opposed to getting yourself into 50 battles and losing 4
Christ. I wish Munster could of kept him. There was alot of pissed off people when he left early. But they were only ped off coz everyone knew how class he was. Met him at few away matches, such a gentle man. So class.
Imagine if he still was at munster.
I am happy he is not at Munster anymore, but in South Africa!!! And he is not going to England!!!💚💚💚
in love with his name
lol
rassie male
am also rassie but a female lol
Where was Rassie at SONA?
Americans and everyone who has no idea what afrikaans is are probably like "wtf?"
This coming out after the news of him possibly joining England
Jamie Jenkinson he won’t!
@@jandreneethling5664Bro trust me, the way England are so desperate for a World Cup, they'll break the bank to get him. SARU is broke, and I doubt they would break the bank for Rassie, the board would never approve. But let's see how this unfolds...
Not happening.
Mpilo Mabaso yeah you right about England but I do feel like Rassie is not about money at this point cause his got enough or his content. I feel like this guy has a bigger goal than money to achieve
Think he’s already come out today to say he’s not interested. No one wants to coach them.
Will never forget he sat with a megaphone on the roof of the freestate stadium to encourage the cheetahs lol
Guess what they won.
Ok Boks let's see if you guys can go back to back like the ABs?? We shall wait and see
No Need to prove anything to the AB's in world cups, our win percentage is higher than theirs, we've won 3/7 world cups, the AB's have won 3/9 world cups.
Lets see if the AB's can try and get up to the Boks win % first

@@lzb1363 Hey ! I'm French and find this speech very inspiring but I can't understand what Rassie says from 00.18 (after "boys..." to 00.45). Then at 01.00, I don't understand the word after "you first have to play" and I don't know what he says at 01.50 after "agree with me". If you could help me out that would be grand !
@@bertrandlm4519 from 0.18 -》 "...boys you don't represent yourself today. I want you to understand. Peter Steph where are you? You know that you are really fighting for the things happening in South Africa right now. You really are fighting, Siya, for a *laaitie in Zwide, to not suffer like you suffered. You really are tackling, Lukanyo, for the boy who didn't get the opportunities you got, like Mampimpi."
**laaitie is a colloquial term that embodies a rough and tumble, barefoot, outdoors type of young boy.*
1.00 "You first have to play well. Now you are playing well."
1.50 "You don't have the right today.... please agree with me... please, either shake your head or say yes or no... you guys agree that you don't represent the individuals today... You dont have the right today to worry about how yóú are playing. Don't have the right to worry about yourself. Don't worry about your mistakes. Let me worry about your mistakes. If you make too many, I'll let you know and you can stop(laughter). And if not, we'll have a beer afterwards and say 'listen, bad luck, we didn't have a great day today'".
@@lzb1363 Thanks a million, that is great !
I have 2 last little questions if you have the time :
at 00.55, what does he say between "That's why this last week" and "you first have to play well".
And at 01.06, after "you give hope", does he say "and now people agree" ?
@@bertrandlm4519
"Thats why, this last week, I've been pressing so hard for you guys to understand, that I was always the guy that never said, you are doing things to give people hope.
You first have to play well. But now you are playing well. And you give hope and now people are agreeing."
Here he is basically referencing the fact that some pundits back home have suggested, the mere act of playing, gives people hope. More specific to black players but many players from all colours and shapes, come from poor backgrounds. So he is referencing that some "hot air" pundits suggest many poor or down-and-out people's hopes, are lying on the shoulders of players just by playing.
But Rassie is saying those are hollow words. You don't just play and automatically give hope. You work hard, focus on your goal and play well, to show those folks that you not only can make it, you can make it and win in the highest stages of your life. You don't just aim to participate. You aim to do well and then have a right to say, I give real hope. Because I could scale the highest mountain successfully, I can now stand tall to know I give people hope to work as I did to achieve greatness. To not be satisfied or be bogged down with the weight of mere participation.
Ver6 real
There is absolutely NO chance that while Rassie was having the pre-game prep talk that the players were walking around randomly, apparently not paying full attention to what he was saying. This is the impression people could get from this vid.
Why would anyone think that? He is pointing to PSTD, Mapimpi and AM. Only someone with a Low IQ would think that.
you're weird
Have you heard of editing? Give people a bit more credit, they aren't as dumb as you think
iesh boet ... you need to hang out with more people.
okay my bad, reading some of these comments i see some people are dumber than you think
i will never believe rassie will go for the england job ... even he admits that he is sub-par as a coach, but as an administrator, i strongly believe he is born for it .. he knows where to focus on SA rugby as a whole, from contracts, developments and the like ... even if he pushes for SA to join Europe, im on board because i know he will monitor and take action on it closely .... europe has the number of games, but may have sketchy organizers (salary caps in England are stupid) .. just open everything up to SA players, force the locals to up their game and they will benefit from it .. let NZ die by their own sword
It's new Zealand that want to kick us out they want to start a league in Asia with Japan they got greedy when they saw the Japanese support that's why Rassie looking elsewhere
Thanks for the music. Didn't want to hear him anyway.
No f ing and blinding needed. Shows you don’t need to be roaring and shouting at players
Sounds like a dude who played in a World Cup!
Comes across as s good guy?
You didn't beat the all blacks at the world cup.... and at the tri- nations your going to get smash against the true champion
A team who got smashed against England in the Semi. Hahaha
I don't think you understand how the World Cup works. It's a round-robin phase followed by a knockout phase. Which the allblacks lost. Against England. Who SA then beat in the final. So even if they lose the Rugby Championship (the Trinations hasn't been played for years) it doesn't matter. SA will be the World Champion for the next four years. I hope that clears it up for you.
The true champions? 🤣
ABs will take time to rebuild. I don't think they will be a force for at least another year or two. It happened in 2009 as well where they had to rebuild.
Erm.........Argentina......my big mouthed friend
It’s a great speech but England were by far the best team in the World Cup and deserved to win.
😂
Justin Lol!!
the "best" team got rolled badly then by a better....much better team, England were poor in dealing with the pressure the boks applied and the overall occasion
32-12
Are you serious? We basically raped you guys in the final.
