SIT DIE DING INNIE LUG

SPRINGBOK coach Rassie Erasmus reckons his span has given the rugby world a taste of things to come after opening up their bag of tricks in Saturday’s 45-0 win against Italy in Gqeberha.

Erasmus praised his manne for blanking the Azzuri after having to play with 14 manne for 60 minutes after Jasper Wiese got red-carded for a kopskoot on Italy prop Danilo Fischetti.

That setback, however, did not deter the Boks as they ran in seven tries, with two coming from a bamboozling move where scrumhalf Grant Williams threw the ball to a lifted Ruan Nortje and set up a midfield maul for Canan Moodie and Malcolm Marx to score from respectively.  

The two scores made the internet go mal, as Erasmus revealed how Paul Roos Gimnasium’s U14 B team inspired his team.   

The Daily Voice reckons the new move should be called sit die ding innie lug. Of it, Erasmus said: “We actually saw [a clip of] the Paul Roos U14B side doing that move. You just get all the benefits that you do in the lineout, except this time in general play. So it worked for us twice, but now people will obviously be alert to that, and we won’t be able to do it for a couple of games.”

But despite the convincing win wrapping up the series 2-0 against the Italians, there are concerns over Wiese’s action.

Fischetti started the scuffle as Italy won a maul turnover and tapped Wiese on the back of the head. The Bok bruiser took exception, grabbing the Italian prop by the collar before the two minced words and Wiese trekked los with a kopskoot.

Asked about the incident afterwards, Erasmus, said: “I’m not able to say it was right or wrong…

Jasper must now handle that with our support. It’s sad, he’s not a guy that goes out there to do those kinds of things… ”
