What Erasmus said about World Rugby’s decision about the Bomb Squad?

Recently, World Rugby He issued a statement where he established that will not prohibit the Bomb Squadthe tactic that implemented Rassie Erasmus in South Africa In 2019, consisting of a Alternate bank with seven forwards and a back.

In 2019, Erasmus men predominantly opted for a division of six forwards and two backs to win the Rugby World Cup before moving on to a number of 7-1 four years later and achieve the world-threatening worldwide in France 2023.

Since then, France adopted tactics with great efficacy in six nations, when getting the title with dominant victories over Italy, Ireland and Scotland. In the three games, they used the 7-1 bench and, despite the obvious risk that it entails, it was worth it, since they won their first championship since 2022 and just the second in 15 years.

In addition to criticism, there were concerns that following this path could lead to more injuries and making the game more dangerous, but that is not the case according to an investigation carried out by the world governing body.

After World Rugby announced its decision, Erasmus used its social networks to express its joy by the fact that the mother of oval sport, does not consider changing the rules of the game. In his X account, the South African coach published two words: “So Lekka”, followed by the flags of South Africa and France, which in his translation of Afrikaans means “how good.”
