The Breakdown | Love or hate him, Erasmus misses nothing in rugby’s ‘Greatest Rivalry’ thriller

South Africa levelled their four-Test series against New Zealand at 1-1 with a win in Cape Town on Saturday, with Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus making six late changes to his announced starting XV in what many interpreted as deliberate mind games. The pre-match drama also included a near-miss incident involving a plane that reportedly came within 12-14 metres of a stadium stand during a flyover. Despite the loss, New Zealand remain in contention in what is billed as rugby's 'Greatest Rivalry' series, with two Tests still to play.
