The All Blacks Thought They Knew What Was Coming but Rassie Erasmus’ Team Changed the Picture.” - Renowned Irish Rugby Journalist, Murray Kinsela “The All Blacks thought they knew what was coming but Rassie Erasmus’ team changed the picture.” - renowned Irish rugby journalist, Murray Kinsela. Volume 19, Number 28 01 August 2019 Register to receive your own free weekly newsletter at www.rugbyrsa.co.za Drawing With All Blacks Feels Like A Win According to many news reports after the match on One such is on Sport24.co.za: it is basically a list of Saturday in Wellington between the All Blacks and statistics showing unequivocally that New Zealand Springboks, it was an uninspiring performance by won the game everywhere but on the scoreboard. both teams. But what those reports neglect to mention is that these two teams are what many consider to be That’s true. We recall one of the television the two best rugby teams in the world. commentators on Saturday saying words to the effect that one side will be happier with the draw than the And, as such, it was always going to be tough and it other. All Black captain Kieran Read’s words after was always going to come down to errors on defence. the match drive that point home: The Boks made such an error in the closing minutes of the first half and the All Blacks returned the favour "I think so. If you saw the reactions from the two in the dying moments of the second half. Both errors sides (a loss) is what it feels like." resulted in tries due to the quality of the players on the field. Rassie Erasmus, the national director of rugby, attributed the result to a heavy stroke of luck. For us, it was top-class rugby and the sort of rugby one should expect to see at the World Cup later this “Right at the end we could have lost it and we year. But all of that said, there were more than a few managed to draw the game, and Handré could have reports that offered interesting insight into the match missed that last kick so we could have lost that on Saturday. game.” Indeed. And the moment that allowed the Springboks to snatch the draw was provided by none other than the mercurial Herschel Jantjies. It’s a short clip but it’s worth watching over and over – unless you’re an All Black supporter or player. Another clip worth looking at is RG Snyman cleaning out Brodie Retallic when he went in the side of a ruck and interfered with the ball. That said, Retallic’s resulting injury was unfortunate but we can't help thinking: if his arm wasn't extended, illegally inhibiting the ball, the hit probably wouldn't have dislocated his shoulder.

  • Analysing Rugby Game Attendance at Selected Smaller Unions in South Africa
    Analysing rugby game attendance at selected smaller unions in South Africa by PAUL HEYNS 12527521 B.Com (Hons), NGOS Mini-dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Business Administration at the Potchefstroom Business School of the North-West University Supervisor: Prof. R.A. Lotriet November 2012 Potchefstroom ABSTRACT Rugby union is being viewed and played by millions of people across the world. It is one of the fastest growing sport codes internationally and with more countries emerging and playing international and national games, the supporter attendance is crucial to the game. The rugby industry is mostly formal, with an international body controlling the sport globally and a governing body in each country to regulate the sport in terms of rules and regulations. These bodies must adhere to the international body’s vision and mission to grow the sport and to steer it in the correct direction. This study focuses on rugby game attendance of selected smaller unions in South Africa. Valuable information was gathered describing the socio- economic profile and various preferences and habits of supporters attending rugby games. This information forms the basis for future studies to honour the people that support their unions when playing rugby nationally or internationally. The research was conducted through interviews with influential administrators within the rugby environment and questionnaires that were distributed among supporters that attended a Leopard and Puma game. The main conclusions during the study were the failure to attract supporters to the Leopards and the Pumas local matches. The supporters list various reasons for poor supporter attendances namely: a lack of marketing, no entertainment, the quality of the teams that are competing, and the time-slots in which the matches take place.
