Brilliant
Springboks boss Rassie Erasmus has never been shy to experiment and try new things in rugby and given his success at the last two World Cups – it’s safe to say he won’t be stopping anytime soon.
We’ve seen him pull off some pretty outlandish stuff, from 7-1 bench splits to traffic light systems to pass signals to his players, but this latest one might just be the best yet.
Heading into last year’s World Cup quarter-final against France, the Boks were underdogs, and understandably so given the form of Les Blues and the fact that they were tournament hosts with an entire country behind them
Rassie was all too aware of this and knew it would be a factor on the day in the stadium, with the majority of fans set to be French. The solution? Follow the players around all week with a giant speaker belting out the French item.
Nothing could have prepared me for the transition of the unpacking of the French national anthem to Rassie pushing around a speaker in practice to mentally taunt the squad?He was even entering the scrum with the speaker on wheels. #ChasingTheSun2 pic.twitter.com/4CwlJYpSQ0
