All Blacks coach Scott Robertson has hailed Rassie Erasmus for taking an “innovative” approach during the Rugby Championship ahead of the two-Test mini-series against the Springboks in South Africa.
A 33-7 tournament-opening win in Brisbane saw the Springboks claim their first victory at a sold-out Suncorp Stadium since 2013. This has set the Boks up nicely for a rematch of the 2023 Rugby World Cup final, when the All Blacks face the world champions on 31 August at Ellis Park, before a 7 September duel in Cape Town.
“They’ve got a clear DNA, South Africa,” Robertson said in assessing his next opponents. “They’ve been pretty innovative and have evolved really well in the last few games, so that’s the exciting part.
