Rassie Erasmus did it again: the striking tactics of the Springboks against Italy

The last weekend was the win of South Africa facing Italy by 45-0within the framework of a new day of the July window. In this party, two conquests were supported with a similar and somewhat strange gestation. I revived the actions in Disney+.

In the first part, the Springboks They had a line in favor in the Italian field and made a quick play to make a ruck. From there, the medium scrum, Grant Williamsthrew a higher than normal pass and gave a situation similar to a line, where two players raised one and then formed the Maul.

This grabbed the Italian team that did not know what to do. On the first opportunity, the set that directs Gonzalo Quesada deliberately collapsed and the referee had no other alternative than marking the advantage to South Africa. Then they took out quickly, Canan Moodie He lashed out at the defense and supported the conquest.

Already in the second half, in the same circumstance after the maul in full play, Italy He collapsed, the referee validated the advantage, but the difference with the previous one was that the mobile formation followed its course and Malcolm Marx He supported his try.

In this way, Rassie Erasmus and the Springboks They surprised the world of rugby again with these actions that ended in Try. We will have to wait to see if World Rugby Analyze these plays and take some measure to counteract South African ingenuity.
