The mind games began on Sunday night pvp
South Africa had just booked their place in the last four of the Rugby World Cup, pipping France in an instant classic in Paris, and the Springboks’ director of rugby, Rassie Erasmus, was straight on social media to start his game week stirring pvp
As Erasmus searched for England Rugby’s account on X, formerly Twitter, and clicked the follow button, he knew he would be noticed pvp
At the time of writing, South Africa’s opponents on Saturday are the only account that Erasmus follows pvp
The 50-year-old has form – before Ireland and Scotland’s decisive Pool B encounter, the two Celtic nations were the sole occupiers of the coach’s ‘following’ feed pvp
Such social media tomfoolery will matter little come Saturday but speaks to Erasmus’s unique approach to life and rugby pvp
The architect of South Africa’s World Cup triumph four years ago as head coach, Erasmus has since stepped up into a directorial role, with former assistant Jacques Nienaber taking on head coach duties pvp

It is testament to their willingness to innovate: be it by using seven/one bench splits, trusting two part-time hookers or refining a traffic light system first employed by Erasmus the best part of two decades ago pvp
There is a perception of Erasmus in certain corners as a sort of villain, a narrative most prominent during the 2021 British & Irish Lions tour, when the leaking of a video critiquing referee Nic Berry saw World Rugby levy a two-month ban against South Africa’s director of rugby pvp
He continues to use social media spin as a tactic, calling out Irish journalists during the course of this tournament and poking at New Zealand counterpart Ian Foster when the All Blacks head coach suggested that he had found the Springboks’ “stop-start” defeat to Ireland dull pvp
Certainly, at times, it can seem like he craves attention pvp
The former Munster coach refutes the portrait oft painted of him pvp
In his book, Rassie Erasmus: Stories of Life and Rugby, he describes himself as “quiet” and “uncomplicated”: “I may come across as a loudmouth, opinionated, arrogant, unrepentant … people think I’m extroverted, but I’m not pvp
I find social occasions difficult pvp
”So which is the true Erasmus: the Machiavellian mastermind making the marionette dance with a win-at-all-costs mentality? Or the reserved big-stage manager hidden in the wings, using his natural coaching intuition and attention to detail to get the best out of his group?The truth probably falls somewhere pvp between the two pvp
Previous Springboks players have described he and Nienaber as a bad cop, good cop pair, with the director of rugby a stern taskmaster pvp
Despite that, Erasmus is able to remain popular, knowing when to show a gooey centre beneath the tough exoskeleton pvp
A group of senior leaders within the squad have been given significant responsibility during this tournament; the trust extends both ways pvp

Perhaps that enables him to connect with a playing group drawn from very different backgrounds pvp
In the moments after their win in Yokohama, captain Siya Kolisi tried to get Erasmus to take hold of the trophy, a mark of their bond pvp
The then head coach declined, insisting it was his skipper’s moment pvp
The installation of Kolisi, the Springboks’ first Black test captain, came just a few months after Erasmus replaced Allister Coetzee pvp
“People outside of South Africa might not understand this fully but having a Black Springbok captain is a flammable situation in our country,” the coach recalled to the Daily Mail of the appointment pvp
"I lost a lot of friends when I made Siya captain pvp
There was a lot of nastiness pvp
“Before the World Cup, my daughters’ friends’ parents would say, ‘Tell that f*****g father of yours to stop sucking up for a pay cheque pvp
’ People said it was political pvp
The fight to get people to believe in Siya was a real struggle pvp
” Six years on, Kolisi could surpass Francois Pienaar and John Smit as indisputably the Springboks’ greatest captain – like so many of his bold calls, Erasmus got it right pvp
Like all good leaders, it is clear that there has been learning from the mistakes pvp
While his remorseless initial reactions to the unedifying Berry incident still sit uneasily, there has been a necessary mellowing pvp
South Africa now enjoy a closer relationship with the officials; though former test referee Nigel Owens declined an invitation to join South Africa at this World Cup, the Welshman has been in contact with Springboks camp pvp
South Africa captain Siya Kolisi (left) and Erasmus are close (Getty Images)“Our whole motto has been let’s respect the referees,” Erasmus explained pvp
“It works both ways pvp
He’s going to make mistakes, we’re going to make mistakes pvp
And the frustration we had in the past, and the lack of communication because of various things with Covid pvp
pvp
pvp
that is in the past pvp
There’s a nice protocol in place, it’s easy to communicate to them pvp
”Nienaber will depart after this tournament for Leinster, with Bath coach Johann van Graan, who succeeded Erasmus at Munster, thought to be among the contenders to take over pvp
His boss was also connected with a move to Ireland, linked with the performance director role left vacant by David Nucifora’s exit pvp
“There’s no truth in that,” Erasmus emphatically stated at the start of the World Cup pvp
“I’m not sure where it’s come from but I definitely haven’t chatted to the IRFU pvp
I’m definitely not following Jacques pvp
” In the shadows or the spotlight, the Springboks’ puppet master continues to pull the strings pvp

England were grappling with a selection quandary on the eve of their crucial World Cup clash against South Africa, with captain Jos Buttler weighing up Chris Woakes’ role as leader of the attack pvp
Woakes’ new-ball skills have been a reliable centrepiece of the side ever since their white-ball reinvention eight years ago, but he has suffered an uncharacteristic wobble since arriving in India pvp
Three loose starts from the usually dependable seamer have undermined England’s efforts so far and an economy rate of 7 pvp
5 an over, coupled with two wickets at 67 pvp
50 each, tells a concerning story pvp
But with victory a must in Mumbai on Saturday following defeats to New Zealand and Afghanistan, taking the most established pace bowler out of the firing line would still represent a significant call pvp
Buttler acknowledged Woakes’ long-term record and recent dip in form represented a conflicted picture and is set to thrash the matter out with head coach Matthew Mott pvp
RecommendedBen Stokes feared his Cricket World Cup was over when he heard his hip ‘pop’Jonny Bairstow: England-South Africa World Cup double will be ‘great spectacle’“He’s been a fantastic performer for an incredibly long time for England in all the formats and especially in one-day cricket,” he said pvp
“But we’re all honest guys, right? We’re all honest professionals who hold each other to high standards and individually expect a lot of ourselves pvp
He knows he’s not performing quite how he would like to at the minute, and that’s frustrating, but there’s no judgement from our side pvp
“We always back all our players that are in our team - we picked them for a number of reasons and one because they’re high-class players and he’s certainly one of those pvp
”David Willey stands by as a specialist powerplay bowler, eager to showcase his left-arm swing on the World Cup stage after missing out on the 2019 tournament by a whisker, while Surrey’s Gus Atkinson has yet to feature pvp
Whatever happens, Ben Stokes is locked in to make his eagerly-anticipated return after missing all three games with a hip injury pvp
And, with his stand-in Harry Brook providing the only bright spot of a botched chase against Afghanistan, a rebalancing of the XI could be under consideration pvp
Sam Curran, light on runs and expensive with the ball, has left himself particularly vulnerable pvp
Sam Curran has not fired with bat or ball to any great extent (Getty Images)“I think I’ve got so many options within the squad, selection is always tough,” Buttler said pvp
“You’re working out the right balance, which is always venue dependent as well, and we’ve had a good chance to see the wicket here and gather a bit more information pvp
“Obviously Ben has trained really well and it’s great to see him back pvp
He obviously brings a lot on the field and with his presence and leadership skills as well, so he’s someone who is always good to turn to pvp
”Both teams are looking to bounce back from stinging upsets last time out, with the Proteas’ implosion against the Netherlands somehow leapfrogging England’s reverse against Afghanistan in the pantheon of World Cup shocks within 24 hours pvp
The last time the two sides faced off at this storied venue, in the 2016 T20 World Cup, it was a classic encounter that saw England hunt down 230 - still their record chase in the format pvp
There are six survivors from that side still on parade seven years later, including Buttler pvp
Now he is hoping England can relocate similar attacking instincts once again pvp
“There are great memories of that night, albeit a long time ago pvp
It was one of my favourite games,” he recalled pvp
“I think this is one of the great grounds in India pvp
I love playing cricket here pvp
I think it’s a fantastic cricket wicket and, absolutely, it should suit us pvp
“We want to find ways to make a play, to put the opposition under pressure in lots of different ways pvp
That doesn’t always mean hitting fours and sixes, it means can we push back when the opposition is on top or can we really take the initiative in different ways pvp
That’s what we want to live by as a team pvp
