Conor Murray was coached by RassieRugby and Jacques Nienaber for 18 months at Munster but that has not made him any the wiser as to what Erasmus is up to Springboks LionsTour LionsSA2021 Rassie By MikeGreenaway67 IOLsport
“Like any coach after a defeat like that, he's going to try to pick his squad up and emotionally fire them up. Will he be trying to rev them up for that battle again and more? Probably. Rassie can say a lot of things, but he'll certainly have a definite plan of how they want to come out and attack the game.
“We have to be prepared for a few surprises,” Murray continued. “Rassie and Jacques like to think about the game very deeply so they're going to be looking at everything we are doing. Rassie can surprise you at times so we've got to be ready for anything.” Erasmus does indeed have the capacity to surprise … His one-hour video assassination of the match officials from the first Test will never be forgotten.“He was a tough player for the Springboks, and he expects toughness from his players. If the physicality side of things ever lacked or somebody shied away from it they would be told,” Murray recalls.
“There was definitely a time and a place for that toughness at Munster and then Jacques was the good cop. They kind of work in tandem. If Rassie had a go at anyone in the Munster changing room, Jacques would have a quiet word with them and tell them what Rassie actually meant and that it was coming from a good place.”
