Whether Erasmus was lucky or not is not an issue - the fact remains the S pringboks once the 2023 WC. On the issue of luck - one can sae he same of the 2007 WC. Te Sprinboks faced none of the top teams above them in ranking. So they were lucky t face weaker and ower ranked teams i the series,
No Mozrt - ther e a lot of diffrnce in te playing style brought into the game. He started off with changes already in 2018 when the Sprinbok backlie players scored more tries than the whoe tem score in 2012 under Meyer.
What we need was bringing a coach like Browne to refine the fame after it stagnated in 2021 and 2022 -but the change of style is already been evident. You refuse to see he change and your statement is nonsense s well. As it is the loosies have become part of backline attacks and in thsi regard we must bear in mind the scoring of tries ths year by Du Toit and Kolisi.
Iam araid you call all tries where mauls were formed and tries scored. When a maul stopped going forward and ball carriers break away from the maul it is not really maiul tries, Take the one scored by Wiliams - there is a maul tha stopped going forwads and there were at least five ball cariers before Wlliams scored the try. Take the example of Marx he scored one as part of the maul and the on last Saturday he was not parr of the maul.and never left the maul in an earlier test and that was indeed a maul try.
It is really no fair to claim Browne and Eramus after 3 mnths - it wil take time to change the game plan they beconme used to has not been since their junior years was hammrd into them, I think the Trophy Cabinet of the Springboss are filling up and that shows massive improvmeent already, However an objective assessment should be made after the northbound tests in November tests.
In my opinion to only attack and simultaneously neglect defense has been avoided thus far. I am sure that every test will give people information reasonable data and info that could be used for an objective assessment.
