Arrr! South Africa's scurvy dog of a rugby captain, Rassie Erasmus, befallen by cursed chemical burns in a "freak accident" whilst wielding a potent detergent! Methinks even a pirate's skin be no match for such treacherous concoctions!
Rassie Erasmus, the director of rugby for South Africa, is currently recovering in the hospital after suffering chemical burns in a freak accident. The incident occurred during a medical procedure where Erasmus was using a powerful detergent product. South African Rugby released a statement saying that while Erasmus is in good health overall, he will require weeks to fully recover before returning to work.Despite his current condition, Erasmus is expected to coach the South African team as they prepare for the 2027 World Cup. This news comes after Erasmus coached the team to victory in the 2019 World Cup, marking their third title. Erasmus had moved into the director role prior to the 2023 tournament, with Jacques Nienaber taking over as coach and leading the team to another World Cup victory.
Meanwhile, Nienaber has since left South African rugby and become the coach of Leinster in Ireland. The Springboks' next scheduled games are in July, where they will face Ireland in a two-game series before playing against Portugal. Erasmus expressed his excitement about the upcoming matches and his determination to make the supporters proud.
With the venue for the matches now confirmed, Erasmus and the team can focus on planning and operations for the upcoming games. The anticipation is high, especially after their successful defense of the Rugby World Cup title in 2023. Despite his current setback, Erasmus remains optimistic about the season ahead and the team's prospects.
