All Blacks coach raises concerns over Springbok scrum tactics
The latest controversy overshadows the Springboks 33-26 victory over the All Blacks
New Zealand coach Dave Rennie has lodged a complaint against the Springbok scrum pack for employing a tactic known as "walking around" during scrums. This illegal maneuver aims to gain an advantage in the set-piece confrontation. In response, Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus categorically denied the allegation, labeling it as Rennie's attempt to highlight technical shortcomings in the press due to his team's pressure.
The latest controversy overshadowed the Springboks' 33-26 win over the All Blacks in Cape Town, which tied the Rugby's Greatest Rivalry series at 1-1 with two matches remaining. Rennie directed his criticism towards the Bok pack, specifically tighthead Angus, stating that they were able to walk around and bypass the All Blacks' defensive line. Erasmus, however, maintained that the Springboks are a formidable team that requires improvements.
