# Rugby: Former Springbok captain Jean de Villiers says fans prefer the national team to win despite playing boring rugby, and questions head coach Rassie Erasmus’s game-plan which he thinks is targeted at crowd-pleasing. He referred to South Africa’s recent loss to the Wallabies when they changed their style of play, but reverted back to a more conservative approach to win the next Test. De Villiers says spectators want to be entertained, but Bok fans still want their team to win even if it’s ugly.
