Rassie Erasmus - Barbarians

The Springboks will go in all guns blazing next weekend when they kick off their international season against the Barbarians in Cape Town.
The match is a historic one, as the invitational team coached by Robbie Deans will tackle the back-to-back World Champions on South African soil for the first time.
While the game is seen as a warm-up before the Tests against Italy and Georgia, the Boks are viewing it in a different light.
The Baabaas are renowned for their carefree, expansive style of play, which always provides good entertainment value.
Erasmus said the game is more serious than just a warm-up.
