Springboks head coach Rassie Erasmus has commented on the law changes and variations that will be in place for the Rugby Championship and revealed which one he believes will be the most difficult.
SANZAAR revealed the four law variations that will be in place for the Rugby Championship which includes the 20-minute red card, a countdown clock for the set-pieces and skew lineout throws.
There will also be further protection for scrum-halves, or players performing that role, at the back of scrums, mauls and breakdowns with all the variations largely aimed at improving the spectacle.
However, none of the new variations that will be effective from SANZAAR’s point of view are what most concerns Erasmus but an existing law that World Rugby said in March should be reinforced this year.
Erasmus believes that if referees officiate the ‘use it’ call properly during the Rugby Championship that it will be the most difficult to adapt and not just for the Springboks.
“The most interesting one which I think will be, not foreign, but difficult not just for us but everybody is the box kick,” the Bok boss said.
