Saffa superstition

South African coach Rassie Erasmus appears to be one for superstitions, sticking with the same shirt, plain white, for every Springbok match. “Every time last year, since I started coaching and we lose a match, I changed my clothing. Last year, I had to change quite a lot of clothing, because we lost quite a lot,” he said. “This year, I only had to change it once. So, I’m hoping I can wear this until the end of the final. This is my lucky shirt so far. It’s my church shirt.” The only match the Boks lost this year was their opener at the Rugby World Cup against the All Blacks.
