I can take Erasmus’s strange selections, but I don’t want him making a fool of the country on this Twitter account. It brings him, his team, the country and the game into disrepute, writes Bruceps.
a double movement and that Willie le Roux’s pass wasn’t forward. Let’s even agree that the Springboks bossed the French in Marseilles on Saturday night. Hell, down to 13 men and Pieter-Steph du Toit off for most of the game, what we watched was a miracle. The Boks were unbelievably physical; the relief of the French at the end was palpable.
We didn’t even have a recognised kicker on the field. I know, I saw Faf de Klerk, Kolbe and Willemse nail all their kicks, but just because a gamble like that pays off doesn’t mean playing without a specialist place-kicker is a smart thing to do. On Sunday night SuperSport ran a lengthy hagiographic documentary on the Springbok director of rugby. Erasmus’s view of the world, you would have thought, is already well enough known. He’s an emotional guy who even when he was a teenager somehow knew racial discrimination was wrong. He cries. He shares his feelings. He doesn’t mind making mistakes. He says “fuck” a lot.
But while I remember thinking, watching Erasmus’s takedown of Berry, how right he was to have done it, all I could think of now as eight whiny, sarcastic tweets criticising Barnes rolled off the Erasmus phone and onto Twitter was: “Please stop, this is just embarrassing.”Of course referees make mistakes and the day may come when the technology and the TMO are consulted on all scores and infringements, but I don’t think it will improve rugby. It hasn’t improved soccer.
