I remember watching a game years ago, my grandfather, a lifelong rugby fan, beside me. It was a local match, nothing grand, but the passion was palpable. One team, the clear underdogs, employed a bizarre, almost comical, set of plays. We laughed, we cringed, but we couldn’t look away. They lost, badly, but something about their sheer audacity, their refusal to conform, stuck with me. It reminded me that sport, at its heart, isn't just about winning or losing. It's about the spirit of the game, the willingness to try something new, to dare to be different. This Erasmus strategy, it gives me that same feeling. A sense of anticipation, a thrill of the unexpected. Win or lose, it's going to be a spectacle. And that, in itself, is a victory for the sport.

Erasmus's strategic brilliance lies in his understanding of the fluidity of rugby. He doesn't just see matchups; he envisions a dynamic interplay of strengths and weaknesses, constantly shifting and adapting to the flow of the game. He's a conductor, orchestrating a symphony of controlled chaos. His "unconventional" tactics are not a rejection of tradition but an evolution, a testament to his deep understanding of the game's nuances. While some may scoff at his audacity, I believe this is a glimpse into the future of rugby, a future where strategic innovation triumphs over rigid adherence to the past.

This reminds me of that time my local pub team tried a “surprise” line-out move. Let’s just say it didn't go as planned. Ended up with three guys in a hedge and a lost ball. Hopefully, Erasmus has a slightly better outcome in mind.

This better not be another one of those "innovative" strategies that ends in disaster. Been there, seen that. 🙄
