URassie Erasmus ukholelwa ukuthi ibhola lombhoxo “lisenkingeni” kanti unohlelo lokuhlenga umdlalo. Futhi yebo, kufaka phakathi onompempe.
Umqeqeshi owawina iNdebe yoMhlaba ngesikhathi eqeqesha amaBhokobhoko nophinde abe ngumqondisi webhola lombhoxo eNingizimu Afrika usephinde waphakamisa ukuthi kusetshenziswe onompempe ababili kwi-Varsity Shield ka-2014.
Ebhala kwikholomu yakhe yakamuva ku-Daily Mail, u-Erasmus uthe ibhola lombhoxo kufanele lixazulule izinkinga ezihambisana nokukhahlamezeka kanye ne-scrum ukuze bathole abalandeli abaningi.
U-Erasmus akuyena yedwa umlawuli wakuleli ohamba phambili obona umehluko phakathi kwengxenye esenyakatho neseningizimu yomhlaba.
Umqondisi webhola lombhoxo we-Blue Bulls uJake White uphawule okuhlukile ngalokhu ngesikhathi iNingizimu Afrika iqala umkhankaso we-United Rugby Championship (i-URC).
Uthe eNingizimu Afrika ama-scrums asetshenziswa njengethuluzi lokuhlasela, ukuthola indawo noma amaphuzu ngokuphoqa amaphenalthi avela emaqenjini aphikisayo, kodwa eNyakatho Nenkabazwe, izinhlangothi zizama ukuqeda i-scrum ngokushesha ukuze umdlalo uqhubeke.
Ngaphandle komehluko ngokusetshenziswa kwe-scrum, u-Erasmus ukholelwa ukuthi unompempe okhethekile ophethe i-set-piece kuphela ongakhuphula izinga lomdlalo.
“Emdlalweni webhola lombhoxo wamazwe ngamazwe, kungani ningakhi iqembu labadlali bakudala abasezingeni lomhlaba noma abaqeqeshi abazosebenza njengonompempe abangochwepheshe be-scrum?”
“Bafakeni emdlalweni ukuze bangene futhi baphume ngokushesha enkundleni. Bekungaba umsebenzi wabo kuphela futhi ngeke babe nomthelela emdlalweni wonke,” ebhala.
U-Erasmus wengeze ngokuthi kunama-scrums angaba ngu-20 umdlalo ngamunye, ngakho-ke kunikeza onompempe be-scrum umbhobho nokubaxhumanisa nokuhlaziya ukuze ababukeli bawuqonde kangcono umdlalo.
“Umbono wonompempe ababili uzwakala uqinile futhi uke wazanywa, kodwa ungasebenza uma wenziwa ngendlela,” esho.
“Uma lo mbono usebenza kahle futhi ungaphazanyiswa, ungenza umehluko omkhulu endaweni yokuhlasela kanye nokuhlakazeka.”
U-Erasmus udume ngokungaboni ngaso linye nonompempe uNic Berry ngonyaka odlule kanti lokho kumenze wadonsa isigwebo sakhe sokumiswa.
“Umbono owokunciphisa ingcindezi kuphela, hhayi ukuyengeza,” esho.
