Go to commentsAnyone that knows anything about rugby sees Rassie as a shrewd and smart operator. Someone who isn’t only unafraid of change but who initiates it and embraces it for positive gain. A wily coyote of a coach who has blazed a path littered with success. Sure there’s been a few bumps along the way but his record is there for all to see, unmatched. And he’s done it his way to boot…!
