Given a choice, many South African rugby fans would prefer if Rassie Erasmus had been at the AMI stadium in Christchurch yesterday, helping the Springboks tackle the All Blacks, rather than in Rodney Parade with Munster. It’s hard to know which is the tougher gig. With a big club-name comes big expectations, despite the competition in Europe growing considerably stiffer. Meanwhile, the raw material available to Erasmus bears no relation to the quality of the squad who won two Heineken Cups and his injury list keeps growing. Simple question, Rassie.
