Rassie Erasmus has indirectly questioned Ireland’s selection approach at the World Cup.
Murray Kinsella Reports from Paris RASSIE ERASMUS HAS indirectly questioned Ireland’s approach of picking a full-strength team in every one of their World Cup games through until last weekend’s quarter-final defeat to New Zealand.
Erasmus and the Springboks opted for a different approach, rotating for their games against Tonga and Romania. “England have managed their minutes, 216 , and we’re on 200 per man,” said Erasmus having been asked about the challenge of facing the English. “Some teams went and just picked their best team every single game. I think that’s a bit tough to do that.”
“That would be totally wrong,” said Erasmus before stating that the Boks would never consider using such a tactic.In the first half, the Springboks called for a scrum from a mark by fullback Damian Willemse in their own 22, catching everyone off guard with the innovative idea. Most teams opt to kick from marks, but the Boks pack duly won a penalty at the scrum.
