As a Scotsman Rassie is so far ahead of any coach in the world.The panel that snubbed Rassie will be very pleased with themselves.Rassie probably does not want this pathetic award.He would much rather win a 3rd World Cup and stick two fingers up to world rugby
So 2 world cups, One and half championships cups, Lions tour cup, They lost only 2 matches this year. Well the people know who is the best, Rassie will always be remembered as the best there is and was
World Rugby is sending a clear message to all rugby coaches. If you just think about using your brains and challenging the status quo, we'll punish you. The only way we can. Being petty and childish.
Sevens is a spinoff of 15 rugby. This is a shocking decision, and there is more to it than meets the eye. Rassie will never get an award , they just downright hate him . The more I hear about world rugby decisions the less they impress me. Enuf said, well done PSDT, Rassie and Boks, you make us proud.🎉
The awards panel for 15's Men Player of the Year was 9, including 1 from South Africa, but otherwise fairly balanced with representatives from 7 other countries. For Coach of the Year, it comprised only 4 people (why?), with 2 coming from NZ, 1 from Argentina and 1 from England (why?) and with the 2 women on the panel having never served as a rugby coach. Surely, this is not the way to prevent bias.
It is a glaring injustice. I also think that in a world cup year, if you coach your side to victory, you should be a very hot favourite. It is almost like the refs on field decision is try and now the TMO needs to come up with compelling and clear evidence to overturn. If you coach a team in a world cup year and they fall out at the quarters, that’s it. You can’t be coach of the year. And yet, apparently the powers that be have a different system that just defies logic. Just look at Rassie’s stats for this year. It speaks for itself even as PSDT’s stats carried him to win his category. Strange indeed and a bit demoralising too. But, hulle weet nie wat ons weet nie!
World no 1,11 wins out of 13 tests, rugby championship winners. 7 of the dream team are springboks, need I say more. Please people let's look at reality.
Most probably, they are still angry about Rassie releasing the tape of their referee, making poor decisions during the British Lions tournament in South Africa. They should build a bridge and get over it.
Its time for a north and south split, we form our own controlling body and let the "Old Guard" play their silly little games elsewhere. The double standards is sickening. Go Bokke.
Rassie was not the coach during the world cup. In 2015 the All Blacks won the world cup and Steve Hansen was also not appointed as coach of the year. These awards try to favour the Northern Hemisphere
People literally resigned from the panel, shocking decision as bad as the ref and TMO during both Arg games and most of the year. They basically handed out Pity awards because they coul'd see it through to give South Africa another award.
I don't understand why Rassie would not get this one. Rassie is approved by all rugby fans around the globe and he won all the trophies. This process is not honest🤞🏾
Do not be worried or disappointed, for World Rugby to snub South Africa to host the last edition of the world cup is crystal clear. The writing is on the wall, if WR cannot reform, reform will reform the WR.
Ja Bru . World Rugby did get it wrong especially when it came down to the couch of the year...definitely need to be different categories between the 15's and 7's. Glad Bill's term has come to an end. Trust there will be more positive things happening with World Rugby going. forward . BOK SUPPORTER FOREVER.😅❤❤❤
I think coach of the year is not given to him cause maybe they saw we have generational talent hence two wc's and they saw our impressive attack coach and the good defence and decided maybe Rassie's contribution this year is less pronounced and more so SA adopting a more attacking game which is working for us.
Don't you get it? The "Old Guard" of rugby are being exposed, and Russie is the Donald Trump of Rugby. They will snub, but at the end he Doc Russie will own them. This game is a game for the people, not for the political elite, currently uncharted.
World Rugby has its panties in a twist over Rassie. While the French coach improved his team and won a home gold, they finished 6th in the Sevens rankings. The English Women's coach should be right behind Rassie in the voting, not the Frenchman.
The kind Of person we see Rassie to be and the culture he and his team is creating, there is no doubt in my mind he is for rugby, not for the awards. He is leaving a legacy. No flowers needed. ;-)
The world discover that weapons of mass destruction situated in South Africa and the Reactor Rassie give them carrots for breakfast.Imagine taking the cup for a third time than been banned and change all the rules cos South Africa bypass all😅Time for World Rugby to invent airbags and ejectable boots😂
Agreed. Separate categories however … everyone, I mean everyone who know anything about rugby know that Rassie is the coach of the read by a country mile. Even Jerome Daret knows. World rugby just drew attention to bias or corruption or something that isn’t honesty. How can anyone take them seriously? No happy. Rassie knows. ☮️💜
When Rassie made his hour long whingefest about the officiating crew and WR after the first Lions test in Cape Town in Jul 2021, He made a rod for his own back. World Rugby were always going to get back at him and there you have it
South Africa knows Rassie Erasmus is the best coach over 2 rugby world cup wins and currently. Rassie your award and reward comes from the people of South Africa with great honour and respect to you to make our nation proud.
Clearly if Dupont wins 7s player of the year, then Psdt wins 15s player of the year, so the French coach should win the 7s coach of the year and Rassie the 15s coach of the year. World rugby hates Rassie, Neinaber also. Too much politics, these old farts need to be fired.
I really think it's a northern hemisphere issue. Pieter Steph was 15's player of the year, sititi is also southern hemisphere, women's 7's player of the year is Australian so I think I'm right when I say it's a northern hemisphere thing.
As a South African, I feel for Rassie and I know what will happen next. Watch the next world cup. Plans for 2027 are underway with preparation. The Moves have been shelved for 2027 WC. We are coming very hard on our scrums, our players will be brutal, hopefully we can get a fully loaded double deckers bus so our props can push it for at least 15 minutes. We are breaking the record of taking the third straight WC win plus for the first time in rugby history, our opponents will loose players and by the end of the game, the ambulance will be collecting 20 players to the hospitals due to our scrums.
Something with with World Rugby...w😅ho is the guy that won the Coach of the year.. did he win world cups....what the .... lots of saltiness against our players and coach...come on Bokke...show them who is noss going forward...lets go🎉🎉🎉🎉
Rassie will probably never win it again with how WR looks at him. But he doesn't care because we love him in South Africa, and that's all he cares about
He'll keep on making them come up with other rules and tactics up until they out of them his GOD'S gifted for South Africa that why we respect and love him thank you tata
In your head, In your head, Rassie, Rassie! I am absolutely sure that the AB fans, Wallaby fans, Irish, Scots and Welsh fans and more would all agree Rassie should have got it. He comitted the grievous sin of pointing out reffing mistakes, that were mistakes …..how very dare he!
So if the SA players are the best in the world is that down to the coach, or the large number of talented player in the country. If it's the latter then Rassie is not the difference maker. Yes the last SA coach before Rassie was involved was dreadful but... Rassie is clearly a great coach but hard to say if best or not!
Really, so why was the same team beaten by New Zealand 57-0 with more or less the same players. Beaten by Italy, beaten by Japan in 2015. The coach matters and Rassie matters❤
Totally ridiculous that the french 7s coach won. He is in charge since 2017 and the team was since then mediocre and this year, Dupont joins and the team magically starts winning. The award, if anything, should have gone to Gomez Core of Argentina or Rassie.
no one should be surprised by this. World Rugby has for a long time low key hated South African rugby. Though I would say its becoming increasingly less low key.
It just shows you how badly it hurt the northern hemisphere when we won the world cup... And geuss what they still won't win it come next time. It will again be us and new Zealand in the final
One could argue that you're not the Coach of the Year if you have a team loaded with talent and win. It's meant to be an award given to an over-achieving coach... As for there being only one Coach of the Year award, and not having one for 7s and one for 15s - that's an absolute farce. Further, Dupont getting 7s Player of the Year is absurd. He was only n 1 1/2 tournaments. No fault of Dupont's, who is exceptional, but it's an insult to the other players that toiled on the full circuit.
If the coach who received the award has any sense, as a true sportsman he should hand it over to Rassie. If not I suggest that coach pick a team and coach them and play against the Springboks coached by Rassie! Then we'll see who's the best?! But everybody already knows who is!😂
The French 7 only started to win after a few brown paper bags swooping hands .Du pont come on off the bench and he w 7s player of the year. Than ox only get 50 min and that's apparently the argument that's why he's not in contentioned. Why the fascination with du pont and France.theyve won nothing
7's is hardly a tactical advantage... if it were then Fiji wouldn't be so strong.. very little to do with a coach and more to do with flashes of individual brilliance... Coaching has much less to do with success than in 15's. In 15's the teams with the best coached set pieces and defence win matches...
As a Scotsman Rassie is so far ahead of any coach in the world.The panel that snubbed Rassie will be very pleased with themselves.Rassie probably does not want this pathetic award.He would much rather win a 3rd World Cup and stick two fingers up to world rugby
two or one finger.
Agreed. Rassie is not losing any sleep over it👍
@RabbitholeIsrael he ment one in the pink and one in the stink 😂
so well said
@@deanfaasen535 haha!!
Rassie is coach of the Century.. World Rugby is a joke
Perhaps its because Rassie is coach of the decade!
Well said
He is a guru second to none.
Perjhaps the World Rugby has not yet reached the level at which Rassie is at. They are so far behind and so blind!!!
@MpumeleloMenemene-pd6gk well said sir
RE would rather win a third RWC in 2027 than coach of the year awarded by a pit of decrepit "Lords".
When I was a child we had a saying ; jealousy makes you nasty. Here is an excellent example ! We know he is great , keep up the good work .
They trying to break Rassie, but we know nothing can break him he break you with Bomb Squad!! 🤣🤣
They just keep motivating him! I hope they keep doing this, three in a row, here we come!
Rassie wouldn't care less abt not winning the award
So 2 world cups,
One and half championships cups,
Lions tour cup,
They lost only 2 matches this year.
Well the people know who is the best, Rassie will always be remembered as the best there is and was
Those 2 matches in total are 2 points conceded
Rassie must learn to omit Libbok from all squads - more chance of 100% win record. Play Libbok - you lose! Simple!
Not to mention, Rassie also put out and rotated 52 players for the year, basically coached 3 squads, #rassiecoachoftheyear
World Rugby is sending a clear message to all rugby coaches. If you just think about using your brains and challenging the status quo, we'll punish you. The only way we can. Being petty and childish.
Totally agree. They just hate Rassie because he is so much cleverer than them.
It was not a mistake...it was by design.
Sevens is a spinoff of 15 rugby. This is a shocking decision, and there is more to it than meets the eye. Rassie will never get an award , they just downright hate him . The more I hear about world rugby decisions the less they impress me. Enuf said, well done PSDT, Rassie and Boks, you make us proud.🎉
I don't take this awards serious to be honest. We all know what Rassie has done to this country let alone Rugby and the Springboks
This is a shocker. I am amazed by kind of decisions world rugby has made. Knowing Rassie though, this decision won't bother him at all.
What do “World Rugby selectors” have to say for themselves? Absolute disgracel
The awards panel for 15's Men Player of the Year was 9, including 1 from South Africa, but otherwise fairly balanced with representatives from 7 other countries. For Coach of the Year, it comprised only 4 people (why?), with 2 coming from NZ, 1 from Argentina and 1 from England (why?) and with the 2 women on the panel having never served as a rugby coach. Surely, this is not the way to prevent bias.
Had to Google this coach. He did crap until Dupont played sevens this year. Total joke.
Lol, if Du Pont walks past a car parked in the street that car will be car of the year. World Rugby is totally in love with him.
It’s a participation trophy. One day Rassie will be the boss of WR to fix all this nonsense.
Rassie doesn't need awards. His a master strategist second to none.
It is a glaring injustice. I also think that in a world cup year, if you coach your side to victory, you should be a very hot favourite. It is almost like the refs on field decision is try and now the TMO needs to come up with compelling and clear evidence to overturn.

We all know that rassie is the rugby world's best coach ,if you know your rugby.
It is a travesty that Rassie is being snubbed...
So disappointing. World rugby. Sies.
Because he's from south africa.they hate the boks because they don't know how to beat them.and Rassie is the mastermind.
An orange won the award for the best apple😂
He probably identifies as an apple. 😂
Rassie is the stand-out coach Worldgot it horribly wrong what an injustice rugby
Its time for a north and south split, we form our own controlling body and let the "Old Guard" play their silly little games elsewhere. The double standards is sickening. Go Bokke.
Rassie snubbed? With WR's involvement or last say, I'm not surprised. Rassie is a thorn in their rugby boots😅😅😅😅
WR hates Rassie because he keeps showing them up with innovation.
Rassie was not the coach during the world cup. In 2015 the All Blacks won the world cup and Steve Hansen was also not appointed as coach of the year. These awards try to favour the Northern Hemisphere
People literally resigned from the panel, shocking decision as bad as the ref and TMO during both Arg games and most of the year. They basically handed out Pity awards because they coul'd see it through to give South Africa another award.
I don't understand why Rassie would not get this one. Rassie is approved by all rugby fans around the globe and he won all the trophies. This process is not honest🤞🏾
Guess Rassie will just go out and win another world cup
Levelling up and inclusion .. gotta make everyone feel warm and fuzzy ..
Let them. We love Rassie!
They still think of South Africa as they did during apartheid era
Do not be worried or disappointed, for World Rugby to snub South Africa to host the last edition of the world cup is crystal clear. The writing is on the wall, if WR cannot reform, reform will reform the WR.
“He’s in your head, in your head, Rassie, Rassie!”
I have an easy solution. Have the "big" rugby youtubers put up a poll.
Rassie has 2 world cups and a Lions tour win..all the rest is simply meaningless.
Don’t forget the Rugby Championship this year
They still have to announce publicly the reason for their decision. Let’s see what they have to say. It better be convincing.
Yeah, Rassie is not their cup of tea.
7 coaches should have their own category. End of story.
Ja Bru . World Rugby did get it wrong especially when it came down to the couch of the year...definitely need to be different categories between the 15's and 7's. Glad Bill's term has come to an end. Trust there will be more positive things happening with World Rugby going. forward . BOK SUPPORTER FOREVER.😅❤❤❤

🎉Rassie 🐐

Let this 1 go!
At least something for the NORTHERN HEMISPHERE TO CELEBRATE!!!
SPRINGBOKS, ALL BLACKS and AUSTRALIA came and conquered
😢😅😂
Spot on comments Jordan !
You can not SNUB Rassie, they must be wake up because he will be doing the snub part
Politics and jealousy. As coach a genius and not scared to say what is right.
World Rugby has its panties in a twist over Rassie. While the French coach improved his team and won a home gold, they finished 6th in the Sevens rankings. The English Women's coach should be right behind Rassie in the voting, not the Frenchman.
That's just jealousy because we are the Champions
The kind Of person we see Rassie to be and the culture he and his team is creating, there is no doubt in my mind he is for rugby, not for the awards. He is leaving a legacy. No flowers needed. ;-)

Effing poor, as in kindergarden poor. Spiteful and nasty. No probs though - we know he is the best. Proud South African supporter
South Africa knows Rassie Erasmus is the best coach over 2 rugby world cup wins and currently.
Rassie your award and reward comes from the people of South Africa with great honour and respect
to you to make our nation proud.
What more cud Rassie hv did, to be Coach of The Year?
Clearly if Dupont wins 7s player of the year, then Psdt wins 15s player of the year, so the French coach should win the 7s coach of the year and Rassie the 15s coach of the year. World rugby hates Rassie, Neinaber also. Too much politics, these old farts need to be fired.
Can you advise us who the actual judges are and how they are chosen to try and make sense of this fiasco ?
Absolutely disgusting that Rassie wasn't even considered...World Rugby stinks!!
Watch the space 5th world cup coming.
I really think it's a northern hemisphere issue. Pieter Steph was 15's player of the year, sititi is also southern hemisphere, women's 7's player of the year is Australian so I think I'm right when I say it's a northern hemisphere thing.
To think france 7s was no where till du pont turned up. And will be no where next season.
Rassie is not loved by the powers that be but It's ok it gives the bokke fuel to win another world Cup!
As a South African, I feel for Rassie and I know what will happen next. Watch the next world cup. Plans for 2027 are underway with preparation. The Moves have been shelved for 2027 WC.

As Bok fan steve Hanson should won 2015 abs won WC that year why world rugby doing this ???😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠
Something with with World Rugby...w😅ho is the guy that won the Coach of the year.. did he win world cups....what the .... lots of saltiness against our players and coach...come on Bokke...show them who is noss going forward...lets go🎉🎉🎉🎉
Rassie will probably never win it again with how WR looks at him.
But he doesn't care because we love him in South Africa, and that's all he cares about
Jealousy makes you nasty
Absolute bollocks from world rugby how can that be they are so biased !
He'll keep on making them come up with other rules and tactics up until they out of them his GOD'S gifted for South Africa that why we respect and love him thank you tata
In your head, In your head, Rassie, Rassie! I am absolutely sure that the AB fans, Wallaby fans, Irish, Scots and Welsh fans and more would all agree Rassie should have got it. He comitted the grievous sin of pointing out reffing mistakes, that were mistakes …..how very dare he!
Rassie was snubbed because of his critique of World Rugby. They dont like him. They are changing the rules to block Springbok Rugby.
World Rugby who is supposed to coach the world 15?
Utterly disgusting that Rassie didn't win ,what's the matter with these clowns?👀👀👀🙈🙈🥊🥊🥊🥊😡😡😡😡😡😡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡👎👎🙏🙏🤝🇬🇧🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
So if the SA players are the best in the world is that down to the coach, or the large number of talented player in the country. If it's the latter then Rassie is not the difference maker.

Really, so why was the same team beaten by New Zealand 57-0 with more or less the same players. Beaten by Italy, beaten by Japan in 2015. The coach matters and Rassie matters❤
@gabrielmkhonza7195 so he has average players and has them over performing? is that your point?
They show themselves up every time. We won't forget this.
Russie has carried the team over how many wins now , hell a world cup even creating strategies that have never been thought of and not to be chosen ?
Ox should've got player of the year. He DOMINATED every one he scrummed against, giving SA the platform enabling players like Stef to shine!
Nah he doesn't need that award he needs the world cup n he'll get more up until he feels like it enough for him and his people...
Totally ridiculous that the french 7s coach won. He is in charge since 2017 and the team was since then mediocre and this year, Dupont joins and the team magically starts winning. The award, if anything, should have gone to Gomez Core of Argentina or Rassie.
World Rugby is TOTALLY OUT OF TOUCH with the reality of whats happening on and off the rugby field.
Its clear they favour certain teams/ countries
no one should be surprised by this. World Rugby has for a long time low key hated South African rugby. Though I would say its becoming increasingly less low key.
I think they just motivated him. He's probably more motivated now to win the next world cup.
Valid points Bro
It just shows you how badly it hurt the northern hemisphere when we won the world cup... And geuss what they still won't win it come next time. It will again be us and new Zealand in the final
i dont think coach Rassie worry about this award, just look at the score board after the boks games!!
Rassie these little people are spineless. We all know you're the best, because the results speak for themselves. Shame on them
world rugby with split coach awards, would probably have made eddie jones the winner or maybe gatland
One could argue that you're not the Coach of the Year if you have a team loaded with talent and win. It's meant to be an award given to an over-achieving coach... As for there being only one Coach of the Year award, and not having one for 7s and one for 15s - that's an absolute farce. Further, Dupont getting 7s Player of the Year is absurd.

But everybody already knows who is!😂
I had to Google the French 7s couch he's got no reputation around at all. As for rassie you can a my 3yr old child about him, his the best❤
The French 7 only started to win after a few brown paper bags swooping hands .Du pont come on off the bench and he w 7s player of the year. Than ox only get 50 min and that's apparently the argument that's why he's not in contentioned. Why the fascination with du pont and France.theyve won nothing
Rassie doesn't need to be nominated, the best coach. He is the best ❤ .
I honestly think Rassie doesnt give a shite about the rugby awards. Its not really important
Rassie and 1st runner up be the Argentina coach, those 2 have done well this year. Ofcos all teams had their uos and down
Just fuel to the fire🔥🔥🔥
7's is hardly a tactical advantage... if it were then Fiji wouldn't be so strong.. very little to do with a coach and more to do with flashes of individual brilliance... Coaching has much less to do with success than in 15's. In 15's the teams with the best coached set pieces and defence win matches...
Also seven's teams do not have the consistency of 15's team. The French were not even the leaders in the HSBC series.
