It’s Springboks match day, and South Africa Rugby director Rassie Erasmus is feeling “lekka” about South Africa’s performance at the Rugby World Cup.
And so are fans, who reposted a clip of the cheeky icon burning a hole in the dance floor.
On Sunday, 10 September, the boys in green and old – or aqua blue this time – will take on Scotland in their first tournament match.

The clip was initially taken in 2021 and quickly went viral. In it, a bare-footed Rassie – wearing a Springboks jacket – showed off some “dad moves” to an upbeat track. Being a good sport, Rassie laughed along with social media users.
He tweeted: “Remember I am white and have no rhythm.”
It’s not the first time Rassie has had us giggling with his dance moves. In October, the former Springboks player posted a clip of him celebrating the end of his World Rugby ban following a controversial social media rant.
