Rassie Has Always Been One Step Ahead of World Rugby!

World Rugby have announced possible law changes which gives an advantage to teams with weaker scrums. But, what if I told you Rassie Erasmus saw this coming all along!

[@Lesedi26]

They try to shift the goal post, Rassie already shifted the pitch!

@lesedi26 😂😂😂😂spot on

[@karatekid-nq6ct]

I think it's hilarious they thought this would stifle us, everyone doubts our stamina and running game but ask France about it during the world cup, they'll tell you with tears in their eyes that we can run like a wild Springbok in full flight.

[@syddee]

Ha ha ha yeah, well put

[@LuisNunes-ps4sl]

Also, France only saved their 6 Nations with their pack monstering everybody (and a couple of dodgy decisions), so they're probably not amused either way... 😉😉

[@lunny2230]

Yeah well, it was about 40 minutes of nice running rugby and then 40 minutes of utter clusterfuck rugby between two exhausted sides. 😉 The Boks are a great team, no doubt, but it's stunningly arrogant to think that every law change in rugby is always about the Boks, rather than just making the game less of a snooze-fest while forwards take a few minutes breather every time there is a scrum called and they pretend to tie up boots, or clean mud out of studs etc rather than just getting on with it.

[@stevedavidson666]

And the biggest problem is that the RWC was played in the wet, and they really don't know what's going to hit them in Oz in 2027! Yes, as a Free State supporter originally, totally agree with you about Rassie being a genius. He was as a player, he is as a coach, and also as an administrator. And thanks for the 'all shapes and sizes' comment. As I just said on Tim's Eggchaser, I had the privilege to coach (aka crowd control) both my sons at primary school in Westville and have always thought that it is by far and away the best winter sport for all genders no matter how big they are.

[@timslade5808]

With respect the tries scored in the first half were off kick mistakes and simple run ins, not exactly what you'd call running rugby

[@rudimassyn3015]

We have enough "Schalk Burgers" . Imaging letting 8 heavy ball carriers loose on the field. That can run, tackle, fetch. But not scrum.. hehe.. Good luck world!!

[@Roland_CheckmateChess1985]

They ask for entertainment?! Speed is coming!!

[@FrikkieduPlessis-kq3ew]

Have they missed 7's ?😂

[@futsportssouthafrica4946]

Our new game will be exactly like how the Lions played yesterday. Watch and learn. Rassie is not an idiot. And they hate him for that.

[@michaelmeyer4346]

They Don’t Know What We KNOW Thank You For Your Post This New Rules Will NOT Hurt US From South Africa 🇿🇦

[@SperaDidiza]

Are they aware South Africa is the capital of rugby? 😅

[@seancurran7215]

Is that why WORLD RUGBY, ( IRB ) as was is based in DUBLIN.🤔

[@kesivan]

Rassie gonna end up with that 7-1 split again... this time 7 backs 1 forward !!

[@stevedavidson666]

The weather was kak in France and he may well end up with a 1-7 (joking) split in Oz where the backs will be running themselves stupid in the dry and need replacing. [Huge apologies - I didn't read your post properly and suggested the same thing! Thought you were a whinging whatever. Oh dear.]

[@raymondfullex12]

Lol! Brilliant!!

[@BadMonTing]

​@@stevedavidson666yes! Yes!! 😂😂

[@kesivan]

@@stevedavidson666 All good Steve, you just reminded me of the weather in France, I was at that final... the weather was the reason Barrett missed that kick. A huge gust of wind blew thought the stadium at the moment he took that kick, it actually blew my hat off! I knew then there was some other forces on our side notwithstanding the amazing defence from the Boks !

[@mlisto293]

Lol 😅😅😅

[@okkertgreyvenstein5765]

Its the world against us. #strongertogether

[@ToastSoon4808]

No......can only All Black BS. They must be the worlds biggest whinners. Win a game against them they will still zsk if you deserved to win. New rules implemented one less supporter of the game.

[@cecilmahlaba9369]

Has always been. WR hates the thought that an African country is dominating affairs in the sport. Which is why France stole the hosting rights from SA thinking that by doing so we would lose the power to impose our dominance and also lose the opportunity to win another WC. Sadly we met them in the QF and tears were on their side instead of ours.

[@nathitshabalala5414]

We need more Kwagga Smit type players to mix it up with a dynamic backline.

[@corinnegourley7125]

I am sure Rassie is amused at their antics.

[@mjngp]

I'm sure every South African, myself included are laughing at them trying to derail our dominance , I'm sure we Oom Rassie is three steps ahead 😅😊😊

[@STQPictures]

They want us to impeach our sevens dangermen on them next World Cup!!

[@lesliebekker5935]

If this is true then it is a problem, meaning that WR has a bunch of fools that do not understand rugby at all.....why change a game that is being played for over a century and now that other teams cannot keep up they all of a sudden want to change the rules to accommodate the rest of the world. If any other team won the World Cup then all would have remained the same. A bunch of stupid clowns if you ask me. Long live the SPRINGBOKS...you go Rassie!!!!

[@eveefstathiou3714]

South African rugby has a unique X factor that no other team in the world has..no laws that world rugby implements will change that

[@ravenblack7052]

Damn! Baba Rassie *always* ten steps ahead of the rugby imperialists!😅 Please Baba Rassie, we need you in the big chair at the Union Buildings. No nation then, would be able to surpass South Africa.

[@cecilmahlaba9369]

May God grant us that forlorn wish🙏

[@Renzoid65]

if scrums loose their proper place, props could be replaced with utility players, maybe even with scrum half's. 😂

[@jadenphilander8799]

Sad..this game was for everyone. Fat people, thin people, Short people, Tall people, Slow People, Fast People. Just keep the game as it is and brkng back rucking.

[@bradleylefika9209]

We might as well call it rugby league and move on from rugby union

[@RabbitholeIsrael]

and i hate rugby league. So bloody boring. @@bradleylefika9209

[@DarkstarMonday]

I’m surprised world rugby hasn’t introduced helmets and shoulder pads “ Safety first “

[@nkosinzama4950]

😂😂😂

[@cwengagilimane2281]

WR knows we've had guys that can kick and drop-kick from 60 meters out, right 😂

[@GiuseppeGaribaldi-rv8op]

Rassie's a visionary like seldom seen, a Nostradamus of the beautiful game. WR and Warren Gatland are a bunch of arrogant fools, the Gideon and Sampson of, well, the beautiful game

[@cecilmahlaba9369]

They think that by shifting the posts, SA will disappear into the sunset. Shame on them for being so girlish in their conduct.

[@maryjooste6161]

His name said it all a gat land he think with his ally

[@jksinorbit]

I tell u when Willemse called for scrum in his own 22 in the semi final...I was entertained. Ok maybe more freaked out. But it all worked out hey...

[@groenrizla2513]

The reason SA could get away with a 7 / 1 split is because they have the depth to select utility players. Remember when Boks selected 4 scrumhalves to cover the wings and full back? Flanks in for locks, hookers that were flanks, wing playing at centre, fullback on the wing, fly half at fullback, Kwagga anywhere. By tweaking some laws it might create a knock on effect and they'll find they've unintentionally created another area of the game where a team may dominate. If they limit the number of subs then they will have to rethink the HIA or decide how many forewards and backs are allowed to be subbed otherwise be forced to have uncontested scrums which will inevitably benefit a team that can field utility players so either way it will just create more loopholes to be exploited and more laws that will have to be changed. The Caterpillar ruck too they want to get rid of to speed up the game but that's because refs don't enforce a 5 second use it rule, if they just called it quicker then that's that problem solved, instead it's sometimes 30 seconds before the ball gets out. Teams will however just adjust to new laws and they may actually backfire and create a new monster, from bomb squad to nuke squad, maybe 1 day it'll become the blitz squad.

[@gregwoolley6105]

Rassie has the luxury of tremendous talent depth which allows him to experiment. He himself has champion entality 😊

[@KobusvdMerwe]

What will they do if we win it again with there new rules and all. They must remember we are the best because we did not pla i the thirst 2 world cups. I rest my case! Up the boks!!!!!!!

[@SAPPERBRAVO]

Rassie has done WAY MORE beyond SARU for the world of Rugby. Alot of people don't even know that, the computer systems tactics and stats that rugby uses now was actually software that Rassie created late in the 90s. Hes in your head. 😂

[@dakalodk]

Indeed

[@lunganihlongwa1206]

Rassie for president

[@stevedavidson666]

Definitely president of World Rugby!!

[@eti-om2gh]

If they want to reinvent the wheel….i would opt for wing forwards

[@TheTakbok]

We have wing forwards,he is called Kwagga!!

[@ravenblack7052]

Third one in a row = Hat Trick!

[@SNOK1986]

Wait until the bench rules come in. They really focusing on what worked for us (Springboks)

[@cecilmahlaba9369]

I’m still sour about that!

[@barrys1342]

Awesome T shirt 😊 Great insights and sharing Thank you 😊

[@whocarescrapsa]

You have to ask yourself; if you strap a birdcage on as a helmet, wrap yourself up with pillows for padding and protection...are you still playing rugby or is it now American football? Too many rules changes and you not playing the same sport anymore. Globally, there is an attack on masculinity and they are trying to soften men. The reason for this is controversial and many believe it to be so that men are less capable of fighting when the next war comes around. We have a simple decision to make. Do we allow them to soften us or not?

[@nitalopes515]

Bring it on World Rugby 🏉 the boks can handle anything you throw at them 😊

[@dandylion8118]

Is there anybody in the whole world who gets into the opponents' heads as much as Rassie?

[@johnsmithwinkwink1704]

No scrums then a 15 man speedster squad with 8 more speedsters on the bench 😅🤣 GO RASSIE and F WORLD RUGBY.

[@stevenbennett9756]

Sad that "world rugby" is prepared to change the rules of the game just to negate the threat of one team, also highly suspicious that they never felt a need to change any of the rules when NZ domimated year after year, just a sad group of biaised old men with obvious allegiance to certain teams in the world

[@DavidSmith-yi8ou]

Many rules were changed when NZ were dominating, especially around the breakdown thanks to McCaws success.

[@kirkcupido9730]

The way you promote rugby is through actual promotion.. make a fully licensed decent rugby PS4/ ps5 game for the world to enjoy.. trying to knock the boks isn't goin' to work, we have too much pace and skill in the backs.. also, julle weet ni wat ons weet nie

[@no.1cool2you37]

LETS JUST PLAY TOUCH RUGBY AND KEEP WORLD RUGBY HAPPY , WOULD NEW LAWS HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED IF IRELAND OR ENGLAND HAD WON THE WORLD CUP

[@timbaker4253]

All well and good but if scrums go, I go as a spectator. Also, I’m not sure Rassie did anything based on a precognition of law changes. Rather, the obvious next step for the Boks would be to finesse their attacking play while still keeping their forward/physical play as a foundation. Whichever way you slice it, minimising scrums will hurt SA.

[@DesmondChristians]

There is no team that can match the Springboks fisicalstreng on the field that's why they keep changing the rules to try to benefit their players

[@soda5730]

AND already looking at a front row made of loose forwards. If anyone exploits the loophole it will be Rassie. Can see us playing with 6 loose forwards. Just watch.

[@jonathanmaguire1198]

This is a lose lose scenario. We should leave the rules alone. If SA don’t win the next WC they’ll just blame world rugby, the officials and anyone else they can think of. Kinda like New Zealand.

[@TheBraaiKitchen]

I just wish our government would be are awesome as Rassie, and the Springboks. 🇿🇦🙌🏆🐐

[@bertusclaassens7232]

He always wants to be different if stuff isnt going his way there a big debate, he can always say what he wants do wat he want is time for someone to bring him down to the level he belongs he think he is a rugby God

[@HIIQ-s8x]

I made this exact point on another youtuber's video on the changes. I also thought Rassie was thinking ahead. That is what a strategist does you implement something & at the same sometime bet against it.

[@merrygreenjane135]

Us South Africans must have our own world rugby Headquarters can't be in The uk rugby is our religion good old rugby with old skool rugby rules 👏 we don't need the world the world needs us the mighty Springbok army of rugby supporter.

[@MarkKerrigan-se6st]

Actually World Rugby headquarters is based in Dublin, Republic of Ireland.

[@_wayne_6565]

These new laws, should they pass, wont lessen the physicality forwards, wont weaken our defense and they wont change our kicking game. Two of our 4 WC were won from our kicking game. And also on the 2023 WC only 2 matches if am correct is where our scrum was the decider🤷‍♂. All this does is give SA more options on how to play.

[@johnfrench741]

No problem at all - hundreds of incredible athletes on the SA conveyer belt.

[@HayManned]

I have a thoery, what if Rassie tries a 4-4 bench, and uses Jan-Hendrik Wessels (who he said he can use as a utility forward) as a hooker and a prop on the bench. This is a big opportunity for the boks.

[@DesmondChristians]

I have read this sonewhere,his building a 15man7squade😮😅

[@leestevens8296]

Yep. If WR wants a 15's equivalent of 7's then SA has the talent. Thumb in cheek...perhaps Niel Powell should have been added to the coaching staff😅

[@corcaigh]

The scum and line out are the bread and butter of Rugby Union and should be left alone. If you don't like scrums, watch League. Agree that SA has the players to adapt though hope some of these rules are just temporary and it's not necessary.

[@LloydRobert]

Scrums are fine let's just not have have 5 resets!!! Can't wait for the A.Bs tour of the S.A excited isn't the word!!!

[@LloydRobert]

@@wlk2408 not getting ahead of you're half mate haha Four years I'd a long time, a wounded A.B team is dangerous thing, the boys will be looking for blood. You know what they say you're only as good as last game and have no doubt the A.Bs are coming!!!

[@davidekerold9071]

I’m sure it will become boring with the elimination of scrums

[@theenspireriann]

Great video Jordan🙏

[@stanleyrobson4622]

Nice sport shirt collection!

[@funwithhumo2263]

Let's look at the facts. Scrums take around 1 minute to complete. Teams can deliberately influence scrums, especially near the end of a close game to the point where you have 5 setups in a row, taking around 5 minutes out of the game. How many times could the Springboks have scored in that 5 minutes to win the game? So the law is to let the game flow and prevent stop/start in a game.

[@davidpearn2484]

Rassie best mind in world rugby.

[@deepsport5559]

I like your videos as I learn more about the sport in depth

[@frankvendetta9230]

WR will do anythnig to make thnigs difficult fo the Springboks. They have it IN for the Boks. No problem. It was evident in the RWC2023 pool tor Springobs but it backfired in heir faces. Poor bastarts.

[@allistairgreen4874]

Instead of focusing growing the game with marketing and fan experiences, they’re changing the game to league. Which won’t work, leaguer has much better marketing and fan experiences.

[@RobertDixonTaylor]

Young man.. I've been watching rugby union for a long time, and back in the day a scrum was used for its original purpose... As a restart after an infringement! Scrims were quicker. Letting the game get on with itself. Replacing entire sets of huge forwards, gaining advantage , penalties etc using scrums is not genius, it's ruining the game ! I much prefer it when we see teams such as the boks ABs France, and even england😊 play fast precise attacking rugby. And that's the way more people will buy into and watch the game. SA are a great team but this use of absolutely brute force is not the future... Just my opinion of course.

[@davidpearn2484]

Tell world rugby don't drag south Africa down to their level, world rugby needs to get up to south Africa's level.

[@leonswanepoel6899]

If I were Rassie I would pick Marcoi Van Staden and Marcell Coetzee as props and then pre-engage everytime so that the opposition can't take another scrum. Then you'll have five loose forwards plus the hooker.

[@richardmatatahi4563]

The reason South Africa won was not because the Springbok were dominant but because the All Blacks missed the conversion & penalty kick at goal to win the match, either or both would have won it. It was not what the Springboks did and why we lost the game, we failed to take our opportunities but we aim to make amends in 2024 in South Africa.

[@Samuel-w7x3b]

You can change the Rules of Rugby But you cant Change a South African Rugby ❤ for the love of Fame And Fortune.. And im Sorry to Say but thats how the rest of the World seems to look at the Game..

[@gerbenbezuidenhout5461]

Won't be surprised if we see a front row in the 2nd half which includes kwagga at loosehead, dayimani at hooker and cameron hanekom at tighthead. Imagine a pack of fwds including 6 loosies... 😂😂😂

[@MyPaddy2011]

World rugby will continue to pander to SA demands so they remain the world's best. Everyone knows it and this is a huge reason rugby is becoming a global laughing stock. Pass the popcorn.

[@waltbarratt200]

England fan, I love to watch the SA team play the forwards over the past 8 9 years are phenomenal, the back are good to, there that good you let your own players play against you Scotland Ireland France all have your 3rd team playing for them, world rugby has been trying to kill the game for years now and they are hunting SA down, should they even this up by reducing any kick goal is 1 point? And make a try 6 points

[@josiasraditedu6973]

Good video, highly informative and precise. Work on bringing in more pictures or videos, check out athletic interest or egg chasers. Less of you and more entertaining images. Good work though.

[@QuinMighty]

This is nonsense. You can have the best backline in the world, but the ball first has to get TO them. That's what scrums and line-outs are for. So deducing that Rassie has been ahead of this for a while, just by reading what Keohane has written, is quite the stretch. At scrums you mostly get a re-set or penalty. The free kick from a scrum plays a very small role in Bok tactics. This is just sensationalist storm in a teacup stuff.

[@atholseptember8937]

This is gonna become a 7s/league hybrid, would result in the elimination of props, hookers and your less mobile locks. If anything, make the lineout maul illegal, that's damn boring and blatant obstruction imho. Rassie too smart and innovative to let this even be an issue

[@youngtwentyone405]

Dr Rassie🙌🏾🔥

[@selekolela8805]

I used to be an avid rugby supporter even played myself in senior school and club. I dont even watch it anymore, its not the same game, they may as well play gaining grounds, its not what it used to be. In the old days it was a great game, now to much rule to much interfearance from ref's and management.

[@boerinbeton7052]

They can just stop blocking content creators from using rugby videos and reacting to it, that alone will bring millions of viewers

Love your T-shirt. I also love the Springboks and what they mean for our Country. Have watched rugby with the involvement of a Johan Erasmus when I was a child and I am still watching the same sport shaped by his genius with my sons.

[@martinpotgieter4606]

Just a pity that the game called rugby is turned into a whimps game due to those who are not up to man power. All ways trying to discredit others to advance the soar whimps.

Much respect to South Africa. No doubt you’re the best. I have season seats to Rugby Football Club Los Angeles (MLR) and was at our game yesterday. It seems like there were 7-8 scrums. I love both League and Union. I see the importance of Union scrums. Yet, too many and it’s boring as fuck dude. I want to see running Rugby and collisions. If they can speed that up it would be much better.

[@thembibaardman538]

There was a narrative in European media (in particular England) before the RWC, that the Springboks are the most hated rugby team in the world. I can attribute this to sheer naked jealousy. " how can a team from the developing world dominate?" Now they want to adjust the rules to take away our advantage. Big up to Rassie for his foresight.
