SPRINGBOKS: Perth post-match press conference: Rassie Erasmus & Eben Etzebeth

[@markbatson7973]

Hats off to the Springboks and coaching staff. Appreciated Rassie’s respectful comments when Australia is at a quite low ebb. Good luck for a competitive series against the all Blacks. From an Australian supporter

[@Wall1s_]

SA’er here: we’ve been there. World Rugby needs a strong Wallaby side. You will be back.

[@ProperNkosi]

We South Africans very happy with the effort and commitment by our Springboks Salute u Rassie and team

[@juliusruiters2132]

Master mind at work. Well done Rassie.

[@SibusisoMayisela-y3v]

Well played by the boks and im happy for Fassie getting a try

[@joeritchie2]

Good respectful comments from Rassie about where the Wallabies currently are. Not sure the Aussie fan base is quite so optimistic, but with Joe Schmidt at the helm they certainly should improve.

[@anitaduplessis2865]

Thank you for posting so quickly! Thanks Boks for the win!

[@kurtjetson1284]

Thanks for posting these so fast, Brenden.

[@larrymeyer2917]

So so many years of following the Boks and now under Rassie we see their real potential. Sure they will loose a game but the depth of South African rugby is truly on display and the politics of SA Rugby gone, I recall the nineties into 2000’s and Strualli, disgusting dumbness. Continuity also so important and believe the AB are also showing the impact of too many changes in management.

[@gavinstrelitz1558]

We haven’t seen the best yet. In a couple of games it will really click

[@johnlewis2972]

Well done boks.

[@decibelgeorge]

Ons is baie gelukkig met die Bokke. Geluk Rassie. Why must there be time slots for English and Afrikaans questions. Mix it up a bit as we go slong. Afrikaans is pushed to the end when there is little time. Thanks.

[@tpkorea6c]

Great win in the rain and it was evident that some young players need to play in rain more and get experience. Lucky the senior players coming on in the 2nd half made it look like rugby again. Johan Grobbelaar is a small guy with a big heart and will become better. Marco v Staden, sorry, he never looks like the best 6. There are better players. Elrigh Louw, no, not a 8 and he should be a 6 or 7. Even in the URC games he looked more like a flanker. Sacha is the future but in the rain he was a little lost. Against the AB's Pollard should start as he is seen as the number 1 flyhalf in world rugby currently.

[@Alias-gy3tz]

Congrats on the win! The "missed opportunities" are really starting to become a feature of the Boks game. When are they going to sort it out? Leaving 2-3 tries on the field is not good enough, it will cost us against better opponents.

[@thudeshreenaidoo3330]

Just saying.. I love Rassie ❤

[@phil23915]

With the likes of Wiese,Damian Willimse ,Canan Moodie etc. missing,the debt is quite crazy.

[@KrizClaasen]

Eben is a good captain. Why cant Rassie make Eben the captain of the 'B' team or vice captian of the 'A' team. He is giving his everything every time and needs recognition. I know we have so many leaders in the Springbok team and its perhaps easier said than done.

[@travismcgarry]

He’s done something much better, he has leaders in the team… Eben is one of those men and there is a few… thus if a captain gets injured and taken off the feels early the team doesn’t suffer as there will still be leaders on the field… brilliant

[@kenowen238]

To me as a Kiwi Eben is the current Frik Du Preez/Colin Meads. A modern day great

[@OfficialArthusamakh]

if rassie goes on doing his job well and stays on for a few more years, the next coaches should have an insane foundation to build on. even without dudes like handre and eben after the next WC likely there will by then be a very good new gen.

[@ikamelasafaris870]

Who was man of the match?

[@michelmuller6023]

What's that on Rassie's right arm and why are fingers a reddish blue colour?

[@jacquesotto1289]

looks like a bruise

[@greatshark9625]

Acid burn. DIY at home a few months back, ended up in hospital.

[@bradwaghorn8955]

Looks like he’s had a tattoo removed.

[@athenanooi]

Probably still side effects of his cancer treatments.

[@jameslangdon5087]

It's the old Afrikaner sentiment to build around one particular player ...that's what cause the AB downfall talking about Jonah lomuh... individuals, that's not the answer... praying for the country... will never stop us.... guys please get it , Rassie has tapped the right object, he can neverloose ...

[@clibo1]

Oupa used to say bietjie bietjie maak baie, little things makes a lot. Rassie and the team makes small adjustments, small steps that snowball effect to unstoppable. I am nervous we will be playing the ABs l 😭 😂

[@monster_spencer]

Players win games . . . systems build dynasties.

[@jankoekemoer6034]

Don't be racist. It's not just Afrikaners. Tosser.

[@DavidSmith-yi8ou]

ABs have never done that.

[@georgschramm7456]

Surley, the team not able to scrum on the opposition ball, should be compelled to scrum with a full 8, and the team that can srum with a minimum of 3 players. This will prevent uncontested scrums

[@adamgranger5725]

Whats up with Rassie’s right arm?

[@gawiestols6857]

Why wait till the end for a question in Afrikaans. ITS THEIR HOME LANGUAGE 🤦🤔🤬

[@arthurmcdermott4104]

Why discrimnate against Afrikaans ? Why ?

[@michaelbaxter7452]

Moerat shouldnt even be in the team, how the heck can he be captain

[@safarijhb]

I don’t understand why Rassie doesn’t have you on his coaching side because he obviously needs help?

[@konkerunitedarmy1300]

Moerat was subbed just say it for what it is

[@BrendenNel]

He wasnt subbed he had an HIA

[@DoonRugby]

Percivale😅

[@HS-mo2wz]

❤🇿🇦🙏

[@notw22]

What gave moerat a concussion? The rain,? Because he didn't even tackle anyone!!!!

[@vjmightyw]

You have a problem with Moerat. He hit his head against someone`s knee in the scrum. He may not be the best player however his leadership skill count in his favor.

[@notw22]

@@vjmightyw I don't know the guy sir how can I have a problem with him I have a problem with his work rate I don't think he is up to standard of a typical bok lock, even at the stormers his work rate was poor, go look at his stats for a forward he puts in very little work! Late to rucks hardly tackles, no where near bok lock standard

[@maryjooste6161]

But anyone tackle him

[@jaaaaaay0911]

Can’t agree more. Not up to bok standard at all. So many other locks who are working harder than him 👍🏻

[@maryjooste6161]

I notice last night!, we pray fr the weather lastnigt

Yeah yeah blah blah the ABs coming for your head boks lol
