TEAM SELECTION
This has often tripped up Erasmus’ predecessors and it seems to be doing the same to the former Bok flank. Erasmus has to pick right firstly based on form and then the combinations that work. Erasmus has to learn to be loyal to performance and to who best will execute the plan to dismantle the opposition. Reputations won’t be enough to beat the All Blacks and Erasmus will need to be bold in choosing the right men to do the job. Erasmus has to be fair to the players and give them equal opportunities to prove that they are worthy of their selection, even those playing off the bench.
