Rassie Erasmus and Jacques Nienaber are on the verge of becoming rugby’s best coaches ever. Siya Kolisi, the Springbok captain, recalls his early days working with Nienaber, where he learned to tackle and show his true potential. Little did they know that this would be the start of a remarkable journey that would lead them to the World Cup final. South Africa and New Zealand are both vying for the title of the greatest rugby country in the world, and Erasmus and Nienaber are at the heart of the Springbok machine. While Erasmus often steals the headlines, Kolisi reveals the importance of Nienaber’s role in transforming the Springboks from a disarrayed team to World Cup contenders. Nienaber’s personal approach, getting to know each player on a deeper level, creates a tight-knit and resilient squad. The coaching duo’s bold calls and innovative tactics have kept the team on their toes, pushing boundaries and challenging the norm. Their ability to adapt and make strategic changes has proven successful, as seen in their victory over England. The Springboks play for each other and for South Africa, creating a sense of unity and defiance. Despite their polarizing style, there is no denying that Erasmus and Nienaber are currently the greatest coaching duo in the world, and a second World Cup triumph would solidify their legacy.
