Rassie Erasmus,Rugby

Live coverage of Springbok Director of Rugby Rassie Erasmus receiving his honorary doctorate from North-West University.

Dressed in a red grown over his Bok blazer and graduation cap, it was certainly a different look for Erasmus, but that didn't stop the fans cheering his name and giving him a hero's welcome. There was also a surprise for the hundreds of students and fans who had filled the university's grounds before the ceremony when Springbok captain Siya Kolisi arrived carrying the World Cup trophy.

The NWU council approved the decision as early as 16 November last year, mere weeks after South Africa beat the All Blacks 12-11 in a white-knuckle World Cup final in Paris.
