I feel uneasy about our chances without Rassie being there
He is an inspirational coach and a master tactician

José has nothing to offer tactically. You're just setting up your excuse, ready to flush Krutch.

Rassie should have just gone to Australia and self-isolated until/if a decision is made.
It is possible World Rugby done this intentionally to be awkward . This alone is a punishment enough.

Missing the best coach in the game and leaving it to a pretender is a huge risk

Having a sideshow who creates off field distractions who leeches off the work done by his subordinate is no loss.

Best coach in the game….hahahaha. Imagine that, the best coach in the game has never had a backline thought.

By far the best coach in the game and probably the best coach the Boks have ever had. I certainly cannot think of a better Bok coach
You lot keep banging on about back line play, one would swear other test sides were ripping it up through back line play
Name a test side that is currently standing out through structured back line play? Come on
In the last test we played I did notice the subtle change with DA slipping the pass to a looping Pollard which created opportunities as the default is for DA to take it up.
Rassie is full of ideas - you fools are too blind to pick up on these
Much like ignoring our superior WC attacking stats when compared to all the other sides
As the players themselves say in Chasing the Sun - Rassie is a rugby genius. Same has been said by one of Rassie’s Irish assistant coaches at Munster
Rassie makes the likes of Jake White and co look like amateurs

The best coach of all time, yet has only four wins against top five opposition. He has regressed every aspect of the Bok game to something far worse than his awful Stompies sides ever were. Has shamed South African rugby, used the race card to manipulate the ref instead of solving his awful gameplan. The entire spine of the Bok game, and the only pieces that work, are directly the result of his assistant, Nienaber. José has no tactical mastery, has very dated ideas about how to use the ball, has patchy selections and exceedingly poor analytics. José is not even close to being the best Bok coach and ranks as below average internationally. There are club rugby coaches far, far better than him in Australia. Take Krutch away and José Erasmus has absolutely nothing. Supposed to be an ideas man, for years and years this was the key reason why he was supposed to be Bok coach. Ackermann was absolutely robbed.

Great coaches stay and build dynasties. Harrassmus wins a few games, usually by small margins and then starts talking about leaving. With Hun it’s all about Hun, cloaked in a demeanor of false modesty.

But not much of a talent scout, the only new Boks under Harrassmus starting on Saturday are Mapimpi and Nkosi.
Basically it’s Coetzee and HM’s team, Nienaber’s defence and Harrassmus’ theatrics. I count about 8 of HMs Boks still playing 6years later. My guess is 6 years from now there will be zero Harrassmus Boks.

It is clear the connection is not working. Rassie needs to be with the team. Why didn't World Rugby wait until after this tour? It seemed to start at the same time the Boks left.

Well given the hearing will be held by video link Rassie could be anywhere in the world to have it
His reasoning for staying was to keep the attention of his hearing away from the players
He naively thought Neinaber carried more weight amongst the players. Clearly this is not the case and a hard lesson learnt

Nope it’s not from structured back line play - it’s from broken play

Do you realise what you are actually saying? The Wallabies ran a box formation early in the first half that tore us up. The lengths you are going to worship José is ridiculous.
