'Bleskop': Boks bosses go bald and beautiful
SOCIAL SPOTLIGHT: The Springboks always know how to make a statement – whether it is on the field or on social media.
Following their emphatic 43-28 victory over the All Blacks in Baltimore on Saturday this time around it was the Springboks management team that left tongues wagging with a bold new look.
Rassie Erasmus and his management team opted to shave their heads after the World Champions wrapped up the Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry series with a commanding win over their arch-rivals.
The new look made its debut when Erasmus posted a picture of himself alongside scrum coach Daan Human, with both men proudly showcasing their freshly shaved heads.
The post was accompanied by a cryptic caption: “The prize of a bet.”

That was enough to send social media into a frenzy, and a few hours later he posted another picture appeared – showing the entire Springboks management team with their heads shaved, including media manager Zeena Isaacs.

Even captain Siya Kolisi joined the bald revolution, posting a picture of himself alongside Erasmus with his newly shaved head following the thrilling victory.
Kolisi captioned his post: “Special day for the boss @rasrugby 100 up 🙏🏾❤️ Danko coach, iyabulela ilali 🇿🇦 #bleskop”

The big question, however, remains unanswered: What exactly was the bet that saw the Springboks management team go bald?
Erasmus may have revealed the prize, but for now, the details of the bet remain a closely guarded secret.
One thing is certain – the Boks certainly know how to celebrate a victory in style.
