# Rugby: Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus has defended his team’s unconventional tactics in last weekend’s second Test against Italy in Gqeberha, asking who decides what is against the spirit of the game or not. This follows an outcry after centre André Esterhuizen deliberately moved in front of Manie Libbok at kick-off, forcing a scrum on the halfway-line, and employing a niche move later to set up a line-out that led to a try. Erasmus says the game definitely needs innovation which should be praised and not denounced.
