Urgent:Springboks headcoach Rassie Erasmus Turns Down $34.56Million Deal offer due to…
Rassie Erasmus shouted the two things over his headset microphone while standing high in the stands of Yokohama Stadium with his hand over his mouth. The 2019 Rugby World Cup final was still going strong at the age of fifty-five minutes in front of him. South Africa’s lead had just been narrowly reduced to six points by an England penalty kick from Owen Farrell. The Springboks received their head coach’s message amid the chaos.

England was caught on the jump as Malcolm Marx’s quick, flat line-out throw was delivered directly into the paws of a grounded Eben Etzebeth. The ball was banged up in midfield by Damian de Allende. Additionally, the entire forward pack was waiting at strolling pace, within touching distance of one another, when Faf de Klerk changed play back blind.
Dan Cole was pinged for trying to take out South African legs during a ram raid on an unprepared England defense, and Handre Pollard scored the ensuing penalty. Erasmus smiled widely in the coaching box. In many ways, the move encapsulated the man: it was creative, bold, and successful, with a hint of paranoia thrown in. This was because Erasmus had been too anxious to practice the move on the training field in the days before the final.
Like most of Yokohama, South Africa’s World Cup final base was obscured by a number of skyscrapers. Erasmus was concerned that the Move might be secretly recorded, examined, and countered. Therefore, the Springboks never practiced it in studs or with rage prior to the final. Rather, the players practiced their necessary on-pitch motions on a large screen, coordinating their movements with their teammates while controlling a personal controller to move a virtual image of themselves. Erasmus developed the Outfox software, which is intended to help players memorize a playbook more rapidly and efficiently.
