Cape Town – Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus has shared a nostalgic throwback of his schoolboy rugby days at Hoërskool Despatch on X.
In the post, he reminisces about the strong influence his friends, especially six close pals, had on shaping his character.
“All the people in Despatch, but especially my six friends, played such a big role in forming my character and way of thinking!,” the 52-year-old wrote.
He added: “The seven of us will have lots to talk about in March when we have a small reunion!”
