SIT DIE DING INNIE LUG

SPRINGBOK coach Rassie Erasmus reckons his span has given the rugby world a taste of things to come after opening up their bag of tricks in Saturday's 45-0 win against Italy in Gqeberha.

Erasmus praised his manne for blanking the Azzuri after having to play with 14 manne for 60 minutes after Jasper Wiese got red-carded for a kopskoot on Italy prop Danilo Fischetti.

That setback, however, did not deter the Boks as they ran in seven tries, with two coming from a bamboozling move where scrumhalf Grant Williams threw the ball to a lifted Ruan Nortje and set up a midfield maul for Canan Moodie and Malcolm Marx to score from respectively.
