New Zealand head coach Scott Robertson has called South Africa’s approach “unique” and “innovative” after the Springboks used unusual tactics in their recent win over Italy.
South Africa started the match in an unusual manner when Andre Esterhuizen deliberately collected Manie Libbok’s chip straight from kick-off. He was in an offside position and took the ball before it had travelled 10 metres, resulting in a scrum being awarded to Italy.
