Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 74161, member: 636"] Bobby Skinstad spilled the tea on his beef with Rassie Erasmus back when they were both grinding for the same spot on the Springboks roster. The former captain admitted they were constantly clashing because both wanted to play number seven, and neither cared about anything except their personal ambitions during the late nineties and early 2000s. Fast forward to today, and Skinstad has nothing but respect for what Erasmus accomplished as a coach. He watched the transformation happen while working as a commentator for a decade, and he said Erasmus basically turned the Boks into something the entire country rallies behind instead of just a small white fanbase. The rivalry is ancient history, but the respect runs deep after seeing how hard Erasmus worked to elevate South African rugby. [/QUOTE]
