Rassie Erasmus and SA Rugby find themselves in World Rugby's dock over the former's viral video in which he painstakingly took to task the match officials following the first Test between the Springboks and the British and Irish Lions.
The Lions too raised the ire of the world governing body for having the temerity to question the appointment of Marius Jonker‚ a non neutral television match official after the original appointee Brendon Pickerill fell victim to Covid-19 travel restrictions.
“However‚ the extensive and direct nature of the comments made by Rassie Erasmus within a video address‚ in particular‚ meets the threshold to be considered a breach of World Rugby Regulation 18 and will now be considered by an independent disciplinary panel.” In their statement they insinuate rather haughtily Erasmus should know better. “World Rugby has reminded the management of both teams of the importance of this area and their obligations regarding the values of the sport.
