The South African coach emphasized some recent changes in the rules, which are already applied in the European tournament. World Rugby announced that a series of modifications are getting closer to its global implementation and have as its main objective “Improve the experience of play and visualization by promoting a faster game, reducing interruptions and supporting a more precise and consistent arbitration” “.

Erasmus He made a subtle comment about the idea of “Accelerate the game” through a publication on social networks. His message was an ingenious way to highlight a possible erroneous perception of the International Union on the subject.

“The game between England and France had 83 kicks at stake, 15 scrums and only 36 minutes with the ball at stake, and yet it was one of the most exciting matches that the six nations has had in a time!” wrote in X. “I don’t think the game can always be judged by statistics. If you did not see the game, most would say that these numbers would not generate emotion. Rugby is in great form at this time in my opinion!”.

Erasmus He found support in the renowned former Welshman, Nigel Owenswho replied: “I agree. I have always said that a high ball time at stake does not make a rugby game better, as you have pointed out. Too many touches in the rules and the obsession to let the game flow at all costs will take away essence to the game instead of improving it..

I Agree. I’ve Always Said That High Bip Time Does Not Make A Rugby Game Better As You Have Rightly Poleded Out. To a lot of tinkering with the laws and an obsession to let the game flow at all costs Will Take Away From The Game Not Enhance It. The proof is in the pudding https://t.co/dwj42x5xd7

“I know that now it is a rule that the ball does not have to be straight if the opposite team does not dispute it, but almost certainly your team has to jump and support so that this rule is applied, otherwise, you could launch it directly to the 9, I guess anyway, it was very creative “he commented on the French hooker, Pedato Mauvakawho in a passage of the meeting made a quick release to a partner with an unconventional technique.
