Description: He is rugby's Pep Guardiola The Telegraph Rassie Erasmus has been called a genius. He's been called reckless. All his life he's done things differently. Now with his trademark candour Rassie talks openly about his adventures and misadventures at the pinnacle of world rugby both as player and coach. From his role in Nick Mallett's record - breaking Springbok team of the late 1990s to the devastating injuries that cut short his playing career to his revolutionary coaching career Rassie is an essential window into one of the most successful figures of modern rugby. When his teammates relaxed Rassie preferred to watch hours of video and devise winning strategies. His coaching methods were initially laughed off before being eagerly adopted when their success proved undeniable. He fought the rugby establishment at the Stormers and later earned the grudging respect of Irish fans at Munster. Most crucially Rassie talks about his greatest contribution to South African rugby: appointing its first black captain Siya Kolisi without much fanfare or controversy. As his bold plans for effective racial transformation of the national team achieved immediate success they culminated in glory at the 2019 Rugby World Cup. Here that monumental period is recounted in vivid insightful detail. Entertaining and eye - opening Rassie is full of behind - the - scenes revelations telling the story of a towering figure in world rugby.
