Rassie Erasmus says that the intended changes to the game-plan that have become a talking point around the series against Ireland have to happen or his team will be left behind.

Erasmus felt that his team’s expansive approach had surprised Ireland, but only early on in the game. “Ireland have been peaking and ruling the Six Nations pretty much since the previous World Cup. But if we do make it 2-0 on Saturday and win the series it will not just be satisfying for me, it will be satisfying for the whole nation. Ireland are a quality team and they have our number currently.”The strength of the opposition meant that there was no question, according to Erasmus, of there being any experimental changes to his selection for the second test.
“We had some niggles and bumps and bruises but fortunately we didn’t need to make any changes and we have the same team for two games in a row.
