Rassie Erasmus makes public images of his chemical burns
By Ian Cameron
Rassie Erasmus has shared images on Twitter revealing the severe chemical burns he suffered in a freak accident involving a potent detergent product.
The South African rugby director of rugby is currently recuperating in a hospital after a medical procedure to address the burns. Despite the painful ordeal Erasmus remains in good health and optimistic about his recovery.
Last week SA Rugby issued the following statement: “Rassie Erasmus, SA Rugby’s Director of Rugby, is recovering in hospital following a medical procedure for chemical burns sustained in a freak accident using a powerful detergent product. He is otherwise in good health and expects to return to full-time working within weeks.”
However the extent and severity of the damage done to Erasmus might take some by surprise.
He wrote "Wish I could be there be! Well done!! Almost healthy" to reply to a group of well wishers, alongside the images that showed the brutal extent of the damage done to his entire body.

No matter who the top dog is, there will always be a theory about how they are treated special by referees.
