How 'misunderstood' Rassie Erasmus is rolling back the clock

If you can lay your hands on it watch the first half of the Stormers game against Connacht on Saturday past. Sasha Feinberg Mngomezulu put on the best attacking fly half display together with incredible kicking skills both out the hand and from the T. If you do get to see it see if that doesn’t remind you of a Phil Bennett? He scored three virtually solo tries before half time and created the gap and a backward flip pass to create another.

Japan's proposed anti-diverse 'blood' eligibility law after foreign player influx

There would be no equivalence between a ‘Whites Only’ team (like in SA) and a team trying to preserve a disadvantaged minority. Its popular in the era of Trump to make these dumb equivalences but people do really need to think before they type.

Minorities occasionally ring fencing groups for sustainability or survival purposes (including sporting) is not racism. Just like women’s only groups is not sexism.

You’d need to be pretty god damn one eyes to accuse the Maori ABs of racism. Wanting folk to embrace a minority culture is not racism.

I wasn’t aware of JOC’s South African links, Mzil? The NZ links are very obvious.

It’s been really interesting to observe the way the Crusaders have welcomed him though, both as an organisation and as a team of players. That reaction to the kick was very genuine, and the way the players speak of him is so very telling.

If you’ve not seen it, check out the Next In Line mini-doco, that features the three young Crusaders 10 and what they’re learning from the veterran, and what the veteran himslef is getting out being the teacher..

“Much of the evidence is that the next generation of players aren’t very good, but even if they are, they haven’t been introduced to the test arena in time to rack up the necessary experience for 2027.”

Not sure what evidence you are looking at. SFM was among the international breakout stars last year, while the likes of Nortje, Hanekom, Julius, Hooker, Wessels, and Steenekamp have all shown enough to suggest they will become mainstays on the international stage.

And you don’t need to have a lot of international caps to make an impact at a World Cup. The likes of Kolbe, Am, Mapimpi and Kwagga had a handful of caps when they played in the 2019 RWC and we all know how that turned out.

Like the article itself I think there’s a lot of wishful thinking happening with your statement. Rest of the world seems to think the only way to stop the Boks is for them to implode rather than other teams stepping up a level to catch them.

This is revisionist history. The hurricanes were at their best during the first half of last season when they were playing at a ferocious pace and blowing teams of the park. That was with roigaard starting. It was the second half of the season where their form tailed off and they eventually blew out in the semi final.

How 'misunderstood' Rassie Erasmus is rolling back the clock

Great to read, Nick.

All the noise around the 7:1 split seems to mask the fact that Rassie isn’t as obsessed with size as some former Bok coaches. Their backs are getting smaller at a comparable rate to their forwards getting bigger. Cotezee certainly wouldn’t have touched either of their current starting wingers because of their smaller stature. What a loss that would be.

I still think they are missing a top drawer test #10 to link the forwards and backs. Pollard is the man with his place kicking but is one dimensional in open play. He probably still has another RWC in him. Interesting to see if they stick with the 10-man game that works or really shake it up and develop other #10’s during the next 2 years.

I think his real innovation in the 7:1 split is to disguise the fact that’s a more conventional 6:2 split. He usually includes Kwagga who can cover flank as well as wing, centre and full-back.

Reniach as replacement #9 can also place kick. PSDT can cover lock and flank. Those 3 players between them can cover 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14.

3 players for the price of 11 positions is very smart!

Williams is right in that the intention of the Law is what is important here for how this is sorted out. That is what a lot of supreme courts do in working out the intention of laws poorly written. Owen Doyle’s recent article in the Irish Times seems to establish that answer. The intention was 5:3 —- Three specialist front row players on the bench, plus a secondrow, and a backrow player, hence five. The backs were allowed to cover the specialist positions of nine and ten. Finally, one utility back would be permitted, making up the three.

First of all, and most importantly, it was never the intention of the law to allow other than 5-3. I was part of the law group that determined the IRFU’s position on how things work currently. In short, we agreed with what was being proposed. It was to ensure that there must be three specialist front row players on the bench, plus a secondrow, and a backrow player, hence five. The backs were allowed to cover the specialist positions of nine and ten. Finally, one utility back would be permitted, making up the three.
When the actual law was written, the frontrow requirement was specifically defined, and written into the laws. The other replacements were not defined. Nobody considered for a moment, even in a wild dream, that a 7-1 would ever be on the cards.

Re the Arendse try: look at Arendse’s actions again. As the French players are gathering to catch he pushes one of them in the back into another French player who then fumbles the catch. As the cross field kick is now de riguer, you don’t get away with that any more. It’s good play by Arendse but nowadays it gets spotted.
