    “A lot of people have asked how can you squeeze another game at the end of a long season, but we see this as an honour... But the week is also a reward, because it is not as tense, you enjoy it with the boys and can have a few beers.” - Rassie Erasmus Volume 1, Number 18 06 December 2018 Register to receive your own free weekly newsletter at www.leopardnewsletters.co.za Fantastic Win for the Barbarians After a disappointing tour of the northern hemisphere, Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus honoured his commitment to coach the Barbarians against Argentina last weekend, and came away with the win. The fact that he selected no fewer than 13 current Springboks in his invitational side suggests that he considered the match an opportunity for more Springbok experimentation. The Baabaas scored first after a perfectly-timed inside ball from Schalk Brits paved the way for the first try by Juan Manuel Leguizamon, the Argentina international, scoring against his countrymen inside The Baabaas were first to score in the second half three minutes. But then, in the space of slightly more with Siya Kolisi cantering over but a Julian Montoya than 20 minutes, Argentina scored four tries, all of try and Joaquin Diaz Bonilla conversion restored which were converted. Argentina’s advantage barely five minutes later and then the Baabaas crossed the line again. With the Baabaas trailing 28-7 after spending considerable time in Argentina’s red zone, referee In the 75th minute Lood de Jager powered over for John Lacey awarded the home side a well-deserved the Baabaas fifth try and set Elton Jantjies up to level penalty try to take the score to 28-14, which was also the scores with four minutes left.

    “The South African defence seems to lead to overlaps.

We did that for two reasons: we didn’t think we could give the story the prominence it deserves; and we anticipated a lull in rugby news post-Rugby World Cup. Consequently, you may already have heard that Rassie and his Springbok team cleaned up the World Rugby Awards, picking up three of the top awards on offer: Springboks were named Team of the Year; That said, there have been three opportunities before Pieter-Steph du Toit was named World Player this for the southern hemisphere double – even if we of the Year; and include the years it was known as the Tri-Nations: Rassie Erasmus was named Coach of the Year. 2007, 2011 & 2015.

Well, he got the chance against the All Blacks in Wellington when Damian De Allende went off injured in the 47th minute. And so effective were Jantjies and Pollard that Derek Alberts was moved to tweet: It’s an interesting observation and, depending on Coach Rassie’s selections this weekend, we may learn more about it as all three are in the squad and no-one appears to have been called up as cover for De Allende. Ruhan Nel has been brought in but he’s perceived in most quarters as a 13 more than a 12. Indeed, as Sport24 chief writer, Rob Houwing, suggests that a starting 10-12 combo of Jantjies and Pollard suddenly looks incredibly close to fruition for the Springboks. And he’s not alone.
