Eben Etzebeth, sent off: Rassie Erasmus acknowledges the red card

South Africa coach Rassie Erasmus has expressed his agreement with the red card shown to Eben Etzebeth, replacement player, for an action in the match against Wales. The match, which culminated in a resounding victory for the world champions, had a bitter end for South Africa due to Etzebeth’s expulsion in the last minute.

Erasmus commented on the incident:

I don’t know what I can say that isn’t controversial. It didn’t look good. It was a justified red card. It’s definitely not the way we would have liked to end the game. The optics weren’t good.

Erasmus also shared an optimistic perspective on the future of Wales, recalling his personal experience in the sport.

I’m referring to ’98 and ’99 because it shows that things can change quickly. You have the support here and if you can get on a small streak, things will change.
