In the video posted on X — formerly nown as Twitter — by Rassie Erasmus, the former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback urges Siya Kolisi’s men to dig deep and inspire a nation once again.
“This Sunday, you guys stand on the precipice of greatness. You guys have come a long way. You’ve fought through a lot of adversity and you’ve showcased your unwavering spirit on this journey throughout the World Cup,” the GOAT said.
“Every single one of you has dedicated countless hours and sacrificed more than most people can comprehend. You’ve poured and your soul in pursuit of victory.
“Now the time has come for your guys to rise as one and channel your collective strength and forge a legacy that will forever be etched in the annals of rugby history.
“You represent a nation whose people and resilience knows no bounds. You carry the hopes and dreams of millions of people, not just the men who are standing beside you on the field, but those who have longed for this moment for years and decades,” he said in the video that went on for over two minutes.
“Leave nothing on the field. Give it your all for your families, teammates and for South Africa.”
