Check out this awesome moment when rugby and basketball collide as SA Rugby boss Rassie Erasmus flings an accurate rugby pass into a net from some distance.
Erasmus is known as the genius who orchestrated the Springboks’ 2019 Rugby World Cup triumph.
But he is so much for than that. Erasmus is a formidable former Springbok player, who now works as the director rugby at SA Rugby, overseeing all rugby matters across all formats, age groups and genders.
But this time he came something most of us probably haven’t seen before: a trick shot that will leave basketball great and three-point king Steph Curry in his shade.
