  • Springboks director of rugby Rassie Erasmus is causing a stir on social media after posting a snap of himself with his face covered in grass
  • The veteran rugby administrator and coach, Erasmus, has shared a funny picture and a meme about himself - Mzansi finds it funny
  • The Rugby World Cup winner was sidelined from rugby and match day activities earlier this week and many fans feel there’s jealousy from World Rugby

The Springboks are still digesting the news of former coach and director of rugby Rassie Erasmus’ suspension from rugby activities, but the veteran coach has shared a funny snap of himself on social media. Erasmus headed to his official Twitter page and dropped a snap of himself with his face covered in grass.

Social media users are laughing at the snap as the veteran manager looks to poke fun at his detractors with a hilarious meme.

Erasmus didn’t give a long caption on his post, but could only say such face covers can only be witnessed in Mzansi. Judging the post, it seems the face cover suggests he will serve in the game despite the suspension.

Erasmus was found guilty for his sentiments at match officials in an investigation that was launched by World Rugby, but Mzansi fans are not so happy with the two-month ban. On top of that, he is not allowed to take part in matchday activities until September next year.

The post reads on Twitter:

"Everyone must rock up at Twickenham wearing one of these!”

@Pahtuwani said:

"We must actually wear them for every test match at home next year until our glorious waterboy comes back.”

@Rafubem said:

"Why is Our Rassie suspended? Is it because he saw how our Captain was disrespected? Was the rugby World shocked by how South Africans stood together?”

Haibo: Siya Kolisi signs fan’s bum after victory over Scotland

In another report on rugby, Briefly News reported that following the Springbok's display of domination against Scotland, fans were over the moon. Despite the chilly temperatures one fan was kitted out in nothing more than the iconic undies decorated with the South African flag.

While Siya Kolisi was taking a selfie with a fan's phone he noticed an excited fan dressed in nothing but the undies.

With zero hesitation, Siya leapt over the barrier and immediately signed the fans bum on the patriotic underpants.
