Rassie Erasmus says that the Springboks are taking nothing for granted when mastermind strategist Eddie Jones brings the Wallabies to Pretoria for the Rugby Championship opener next weekend.
South African rugby fans need no introduction to Jones, who has been a constant part of the script as both villain and hero from his days coaching the Brumbies and his first stint with the Wallabies to his role as a technical analyst to Jake White’s 2007 World Cup winners.
“I was part of the Bok group before I moved to the Stormers, and Eddie came in,” Erasmus smiled, when asked about his Australian counterpart. “He knows South Africans very well and he’s worked so widely around the world to broaden his coaching vision. “Eddie knows the Aussie setup. He has been there. The interesting thing would be as to where his assistants worked because they’ll bring in different flavours to the party.”
