Kwividiyo yakhe engadumile uRassie Erasmus ubonakala ephoxekile, kodwa futhi eyilungele impi. Umqeqeshi wase-Australia uDave Rennie, ubonakale enovalo futhi ekhathazekile engxoxweni ngemuva komdlalo lapho i-Australia ehlulwe ngephuzu elilodwa ngoMgqibelo ibhekene ne-Wales.
URennie akayena umuntu owaziwa njengeqhawe, kodwa ungumqeqeshi wabadlali. Wenza konke okusemandleni akhe enzela abadlali, futhi banesiqiniseko sokuthi bazokwenza konke okusemandleni abo nabo ukumjabulisa. Futhi ngemuva kwalo mdlalo, akabange esakwazi ukuthula.
“Abafana bafanelwe okungcono,” kusho yena. Njengomuntu obephoxekile futhi ecasukile uvele wakhwela wadilika egxeka abaphathi.
“Bengicabanga ukuthi ezinye zezinqumo ezithathwe ebusuku ziyethusa, futhi zibambe iqhaza elikhulu kumphumela,” eqhubeka ekhuluma.
Ekhuluma ngomdlalo we-Scotland lapho i-Australia ihlulwe khona uthe: “Ngemuva komdlalo we-Scotland sixolise kakhulu emdlalweni obunamaphuzu amabili. UTMO Jonker wenze isinqumo esikhulu ngalo mdlalo,” kusho yena.
“I-World Rugby ivumile ukuthi isinqumo abasithathile besingesihle, kodwa ukuxolisa akuzange kuwushintshe umphumela.”
Ukwenqabela uRassie emidlalweni kubonakale njengokushaya esihlakaleni ekuqaleni, kodwa mhlawumbe kuyisijeziso esinzima kakhulu abengasithola.
Emdlalweni lapho i-England inqobe ngephuzu elilodwa ngoMgqibelo ebusuku, ingabe kunendaba ukuthi uRassie ubengekho? Ingabe ukuba khona kwakhe kwigumbi lokushintshela kwawushintsha umdlalo? Ngeke sazi.
Ukuxosha uRassie ehlane njengokwenqatshelwa kukaMose ukungena ezweni lesethembiso, kuyisinyathelo esingagcini nje ngokuthinta uRassie, kunomthelela eqenjini lamaBhokobhoko, futhi okubaluleke kakhulu, umuntu ovamile eNingizimu Afrika ohlezi enamathele kumabonakude ofakwe endaweni yokucima ukoma noma ekhaya, ubenethemba lokuthi i-Bokke izowina.
Futhi manje, bazomenzani uDave Rennie? Ngomoya wokungaguquguquki othathwa njengobalulekile ebholeni lombhoxo, ingabe naye uzoxoshwa ezinkundleni?
I-World Rugby, eyenziwe nguBill Beaumont onamahlaya, bakhombise uRassie Erasmus oyisikhulu futhi kuzofanele benze okufanayo kuRennie. Sebedlale umdlalo wabo wokugcina futhi yikhadi elibomvu elingeke likhulunywe.
