Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus’s bomb squad tease

Rassie Erasmus recently shared a photo of his Toyota Fortuner’s odometer reading: 171717. His caption? “1-7 again?” Fans immediately caught the reference.

This clever nod pointed straight to his controversial 1-7 Bomb Squad split. Normally, rugby teams use a 5-3 or 6-2 bench. But Rassie’s bold 1-7 combo changed the game.

Seven powerful forwards storming the pitch late in the match overwhelmed tired opponents. Critics cried foul, yet the strategy worked wonders. During the 2019 and 2023 Rugby World Cups, this format brought brutal energy in second halves.

The world took notice. Coaches studied it. Fans wore Bomb Squad shirts. Rassie’s tease reminded everyone: his mind is always ticking. It wasn’t just a joke – it reignited conversations worldwide.

Social media exploded with predictions. Analysts scrambled to decode his next move. Once again, Rassie proved he’s a rugby mastermind with a cheeky smile.
