Handre Pollard lifts the lid on Rassie Erasmus’ famed man-management style at Springboks

Speaking on the For The Love Of Rugby podcast with Dan Cole and Ben Youngs, Springboks No 10 Handre Pollard says there is more to Rassie Erasmus than meets the eye.

However, Pollard says part of Erasmus’ “genius” is to keep his players focused on the job at hand and keeping them grounded, especially after they have achieved so much under his watch over the last six years.“It’s not a militaristic, bash-you-down to keep you humble. It’s not that at all. It’s a real art. That’s what makes him so good. That’s why there’s not a lot of complacency in our group,” Pollard said on the podcast.

Pollard revealed that Erasmus almost has a sixth sense in recognising when something is not 100% right within the group, before trying to sort it out as soon as possible. “He’ll know where you grew up and your history. He believes a lot of that shapes you into the player you will become, if you’ve gone through some hardships then the hardships of rugby will be nothing for you.
