O'Driscoll hits out at Erasmus

Lions legend Brian O’Driscoll has warned Springbok Director of Rugby Rassie Erasmus against employing what the former terms “Jose  Mourinho” tactics. 

Erasmus has been very vocal on social media in the wake of the first Test and O’Driscoll believes that he is opening himself up to attack.  

“I don’t get it at all. He’s the World Cup-winning coach. He’s better than that,” O’Driscoll said. 

“The problem is if they lose again… there’s only so many goes you have at taking the flak yourself. In South Africa, they’ll forget past victories quickly if you lose a series 2-0 or 3-0. 

“You have to be careful if your tack is doing the Jose Mourinho thing of you being the sound-bite or the story, rather than your players’ lack of performance.” 

Erasmus’ latest video has caused rumblings from South Africa to Europe.
