Anyone want to bet against Rassie being vindicated?

World Rugby's reaction to the documentary Two Sides has been criticised. World Rugby wants to prevent high profile rugby decision makers from doubling as waterboys. Last year's clash between the British and Irish Lions and the Springboks was a rugby classic.

Rassie Erasmus is the South African national director of rugby. He was criticised by Warren Gatland and the UK media. World Rugby takes rugby too seriously. Sportsmen like Jose Mourinho and Jurgen Klopp are more important than rugby directors. They are on the same level as the players. Rugby is not as fast as soccer. It is an oversight of massive gravitas. The fuss was made about it during the Lions tour. They will be remembered longer for what happened around it than what they did on it. Rassies role received such attention because of the noise made during that tour and because it was a distraction.

Erasmus was suspended and served his time for the leaked video. World Rugby took their time to make a decision on the waterboy controversy. Rugby's rulers took until 1995 to allow the sport to become professional.
