Rassie Erasmus is far from finished with the Springboks, but there is little doubt he looks set to go down as the greatest coach of all time.
He subsequently guided the side to success in the British & Irish Lions series in 2021, while continuing to work hand-in-hand with Jacques Nienaber as the team went on to retain the Webb Ellis Cup in historic fashion last year.
With Erasmus resuming duties as head coach until 2027, he oversaw the Springboks recently claiming the Rugby Championship for the first time in a ‘full’ double round format. During this run to the title, the Springboks recorded a historic fourth consecutive win against the All Blacks for the first time in 75 years, and lifted the Freedom Cup for the first time in 15 years.
Mallett of course oversaw a 17-match record winning streak during his tenure, while 1995 World Cup-winning coach Kitch Christie had a 100% win record over his 14 Tests. Erasmus has returned to the role of head coach for the next four years, which would effectively place him in a position to ultimately have served at the helm of the national side for close to a decade by the time he finishes. and preparation helping to empower a number of new players as the Springboks expanded their depth, while also evolving their style of play.
