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

“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

The Rugby World Cup has arrived at the knockout stages as the tournament moves towards the final in Paris on Saturday 28 October pvp
With the pool stages over, the side that advances from each game will be decided on the day of the game, with extra time a possibility if the scores are level after 80 minutes pvp
Extra time has been used before at the World Cup, most notably in the final in 2003 pvp
LIVE! Follow coverage of England’s semi-final against the SpringboksThen, hosts Australia and England were locked together with 14 points each after a late penalty from Elton Flatley, neccessitating additional action pvp
The encounter progressed to a period of extra time, with Jonny Wilkinson knocking over a last minute victory to secure England’s first, and only, men’s World Cup crown pvp
At this tournament, if the teams are tied after 80 minutes, they will first play a 20-minute period of normal extra time pvp
This will be split into two halves of 10 minutes pvp
If the teams can still not be separated, an additional period of sudden death, golden score extra time will be played pvp
If that period passes without a point, the two teams will then engage in a kicking contest, with a coin toss determing who strikes first pvp
Five players from each side will take part, kicking from three different positions on the 22-metre line pvp
If both teams convert the same number of kicks, there will be a sudden death shootout until the two sides are separated pvp
The World Cup is yet to have a kicking contest, though it has been sighted in club rugby as recently as last year pvp
Toulouse and Munster’s Champions Cup quarter-final in Dublin in May 2022 was settled in a shootout with a slightly different format to the World Cup regulations pvp
A decisive kick-off also took place after the semi-final pvp between Cardiff Blues and Leicester Tigers in 2009 pvp
